Introduction

This Open Source pagination contains PHP files, and one CSS style sheet.

An example of a CSS style sheet is in vendor/s-damian/damian-pagination-php/src/css directory. You can edit them according to your needs.

This pagination library also allows you to generate a per page form. This will generate an HTML <form> tag with a <select> element and clickable options.

Installation

With Composer

composer require s-damian/damian-pagination-php

Without Composer

If you do not use Composer, you must manually require the necessary files before using this package. Example:

<?php

require_once './your-path/damian-pagination-php/src/DamianPaginationPhp/bootstrap/load.php';

Pagination Instance Methods

Examples

Simple Example

<?php

use DamianPaginationPhp\Pagination;

$pagination = new Pagination();

$pagination->paginate($countElements);

$limit = $pagination->getLimit();
$offset = $pagination->getOffset();

// Here your SQL query with $limit and $offset

// Then your listing of elements with a loop

echo $pagination->render();
echo $pagination->perPageForm();

Example rendering of pagination with Bootstrap 5:

Example With SQL Queries

<?php

use DamianPaginationPhp\Pagination;

// Count articles in DB
function countArticles(): int
{
    $sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS nb FROM articles";
    $query = db()->query($sql);
    $result = $query->fetch();
    
    return $result->nb;
}

// Collect articles from DB
function findArticles($limit, $offset)
{
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM articles LIMIT ? OFFSET ?";
    $query = db()->prepare($sql);
    $query->bindValue(1, $limit, PDO::PARAM_INT);
    $query->bindValue(2, $offset, PDO::PARAM_INT);
    $query->execute();

    return $query;
}

// Creating an object Pagination
$pagination = new Pagination();

// Paginate
$pagination->paginate(countArticles());

$limit = $pagination->getLimit();
$offset = $pagination->getOffset();

$articles = findArticles($limit, $offset);

// Show elements one by one that are retrieved from the database
foreach ($articles as $article) {
    echo htmlspecialchars($article->title);
}

// Show the Pagination
echo $pagination->render();
// Show the per page
echo $pagination->perPageForm();

The db() function must be defined to return a database connection instance, such as PDO.

Depending on your needs, you can also use this library with your favorite ORM.

Example With a List of Files of a Directory

<?php

use DamianPaginationPhp\Pagination;

$scandir = scandir('your_path_upload');

$listFilesFromPath = [];
$count = 0;
foreach ($scandir as $f) {
    if ($f !== '.' && $f !== '..') {
        $listFilesFromPath[] = $f;
        $count++;
    }
}

// Creating an object Pagination
$pagination = new Pagination();

// Paginate
$pagination->paginate($count);

$limit = $pagination->getLimit();
$offset = $pagination->getOffset();

// Listing
$files = array_slice($listFilesFromPath, $offset, $limit);

// Show files one by one
foreach ($files as $file) {
    echo $file;
}

// Show the Pagination
echo $pagination->render();
// Show the per page
echo $pagination->perPageForm();

Instance Options

<?php

use DamianPaginationPhp\Pagination;

// To change the number of elements displayed per page:
$pagination = new Pagination(['pp' => 50]);
// Is 15 by default

// To change number of links alongside the current page:
$pagination = new Pagination(['number_links' => 10]);
// Is 5 by default

// To change the choice to select potentially generate with perPageForm():
$pagination = new Pagination(['options_select' => [5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 'all']]);
// The value of 'options_select' must be an array.
// Only integers and 'all' are permitted.
// Options are [15, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300] by default.

// To change the CSS style of the pagination (to another CSS class as default):
$pagination = new Pagination(['css_class_p' => 'name-css-class-of-pagination']);
// The CSS class name is by default "pagination".

// To change the CSS style of the pagination active (to another CSS class as default):
$pagination = new Pagination(['css_class_link_active' => 'name-css-class-of-pagination']);
// The active CSS class name is by default "active".

// To change the CSS style of a per page (select) (to another id as default):
$pagination = new Pagination(['css_id_pp' => 'name-css-id-of-per-page-form']);
// The CSS ID name is by default "per-page-form".

// To use Bootstrap CSS:
$pagination = new Pagination(['css_class_p' => 'pagination']);
// The CSS class name is by default "block-pagination"
