Today in this post, I will teach you how to create pagination links in the Codeigniter application. Here we will use the pagination library for creating our pagination links in the Codeigniter application.


Step 1 : Download Codeigniter 

In this first step, we need to download the Codeigniter project on the codeigniter official site. After Download need to unzip the setup in your local system xampp/htdocs/. And change the name of the download folder “test???.


Step 2 : Basic Configuration

Now in this step, we will set some basic configurations on our config.php file.

application/config/config.php

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/test/';


Step 3 : Create Route

Now in this step we will create a route in the routes.php file And also put the bellow code.

application/config/routes.php

$route['users/(:num)'] = 'users';


Step 4 : Create Database and Table

Now in this step, we need to create a database. So create a database after perform bellow SQL query for creating table in your database.

CREATE TABLE users (
    id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT 'Primary Key',
    name varchar(100) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Name',
    email varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Email Address',
    contact_no varchar(50) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Contact No',
    created_at varchar(20) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Created date',
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
  ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='datatable test table' AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
 
 
INSERT INTO users(id, name, email, mobile_number, created_at) VALUES
  (1, 'abc', 'abc@gmail.com', '1234657890', '2019-12-12'),
  (2, 'xyz', 'xyz@gmail.com', '9564862132', '2019-12-11'),
  (3, 'mno', 'mno@gmail.com', '9869899644', '2019-12-10'),
  (4, 'cates', 'cates@yahoo.com', '9800015688', '2019-12-04'),
  (5, 'def', 'def@gmail.com', '9865327845', '2019-12-05'),
  (6, 'ghi', 'ghi@gmail.com', '9865327845', '2019-12-06'),
  (7, 'jjj', 'jjj@gmail.com', '7845128956', '2019-12-07'),
  (8, 'John', 'john@gmail.com', '8978455689', '2019-12-08'),
  (9, 'Merry', 'merry@gmail.com', '6589784565', '2019-12-09'),
  (10, 'Keliv', 'kelvin@gmail.com', '6325416398', '2019-12-10'),
  (11, 'Herry', 'herry@gmail.com', '9876542314', '2019-12-11'),
  (12, 'Mark', 'mark@gmail.com', '8976541235', '2019-12-12');


Step 5 : Setup Database configuration

at this step, we need to connect our project to our database. Fill in our server details in database.php.


application/config/database.php

$db['default'] = array(
    'dsn'   => '',
    'hostname' => 'localhost',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'database' => 'test',
    'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => FALSE,
    'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array(),
    'save_queries' => TRUE
);


Step 6 : Create Model

Now in this step, you can create model file. So In this model, we will get all user's lists by using list() function.

we will get all counts of users by using totalUsers() function.

<?php

class User_model extends CI_Model {

    public function __construct() {
        $this->load->database();
    }

    public function list($limit, $offset)
    {
    $this->db->select("*");
    $this->db->from('users');
    $this->db->limit($limit, $offset);
    $query = $this->db->get();
    return $query->result();
}

function totalUsers() {
    return $this->db->count_all_results('users');
}

}


Step 7 : Create Controller

So in this step, we need to create a controller file. In controller, we can create some method/function.

application/controllers/Users.php

<?php

class Users extends CI_Controller {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('user_model');
        $this->load->helper('url_helper');
        $this->load->library('pagination');
    }

    public function index($offset = 0) {
        $config['total_rows'] = $this->user_model->totalUsers();

        $config['base_url'] = base_url() . "users";
        $config['per_page'] = 5;
        $config['uri_segment'] = '2';

        $config['full_tag_open'] = '';
        $config['full_tag_close'] = '';

        $config['first_link'] = '« First';
        $config['first_tag_open'] = '';
        $config['first_tag_close'] = '';

        $config['last_link'] = 'Last »';
        $config['last_tag_open'] = '';
        $config['last_tag_close'] = '';

        $config['next_link'] = 'Next ?';
        $config['next_tag_open'] = '';
        $config['next_tag_close'] = '';

        $config['prev_link'] = '? Previous';
        $config['prev_tag_open'] = '';
        $config['prev_tag_close'] = '';

        $config['cur_tag_open'] = '';
        $config['cur_tag_close'] = '';

        $config['num_tag_open'] = '';
        $config['num_tag_close'] = '';

        $this->pagination->initialize($config);

        $page = ($this->uri->segment(2)) ? $this->uri->segment(2) : 0;

        $query = $this->user_model->list($config["per_page"], $page);

        $data['users'] = $query;

        $data['title'] = 'User List';

        $this->load->view('list', $data);
    }

}


Step 8 : Create View File

Now we are in the last step. In this step, you need to create a view file list.php. Here put the bellow code.

application/controllers/Users.php

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

        <div class="container">
            <div class="container">

                    <table class="table table-bordered">
                        <thead>
                            <tr>
                                <th>Id</th>
                                <th>Name</th>
                                <th>Email</th>
                                <th>Mobile</th>
                            </tr>
                        </thead>
                        <tbody>
                            <?php if ($users): ?>
                                <?php foreach ($users as $user): ?>
                                    <tr>
                                        <td><?php echo $user->id; ?></td>
                                        <td><?php echo $user->name; ?></td>
                                        <td><?php echo $user->email; ?></td>
                                        <td><?php echo $user->mobile_number; ?></td>
                                    </tr>
                                <?php endforeach; ?>
                            <?php endif; ?>
                        </tbody>
                    </table>
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-md-12">
                            <div class="row"><?php echo $this->pagination->create_links(); ?></div> 
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
    </body>
</html>
