I am having a pagination page in my controller, i am kind of puzzled in listing 2 data per page on my view. The controller code which i am using is as follows:
public function newsletter()
{
$this->load->library('pagination');
$config = array();
$config["base_url"] = base_url() . "index.php/welcome/newsletter";
$this->load->model('newsletter_model');
$total_row = $this->newsletter_model->record_count();
$config["total_rows"] = $total_row;
$config["per_page"] = 2; // per page 2 records
$config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;
$config['num_links'] = $total_row;
$config['cur_tag_open'] = ' <a class="current">';
$config['cur_tag_close'] = '</a>';
$config['page_query_string'] = FALSE;
$config['next_link'] = 'Next';
$config['prev_link'] = 'Previous';
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
if($this->uri->segment(3)){
$page = ($this->uri->segment(3)) ;
}
else{
$page = 1;
}
$this->load->model('newsletter_model');
$data["results"] = $this->newsletter_model->fetch_data($config["per_page"], $page);
$str_links = $this->pagination->create_links();
$data["links"] = explode(' ',$str_links );
$this->load->model('newsletter_model');
$this->load->view('newsletter/newsletter',$data);
}
With the above code i am getting 2 records per page as i intended, but i could not understand the logic behind the pagination. can anyone explain me the logic worked in codeigniter pagination
, with my work itself as it would be handy for me to understand it.
My Model code is as follows:
public function fetch_data($limit, $id)
{
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('ins_newsletter');
$this->db->order_by('nl_id', 'desc');
$this->db->limit($limit,$id);
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result_array();
}
public function record_count()
{
return $this->db->count_all("ins_newsletter");
}
