Pagination with jQuery, MySQL and PHP.

I received lot of requests from my readers that asked to me how to implement Pagination with jQuery, PHP and MySQL. so I had developed a simple tutorial. It's looks big but very simple script. Take a look at this live demo New updated post Pagination with Jquery, PHP , Ajax and MySQL.

Pagination with jQuery, MySQL and PHP.

The tutorial contains three PHP files and two js files includes jQuery plugin.

-config.php (Database Configuration)
-pagination.php
-pagination_data.php
-jquery.js
-jquery_pagination.js

Download Script     Live Preview

Database Table
CREATE TABLE messages
(
msg_id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
message TEXT
);



jquery_pagination.js
Contains javascript this script works like a data controller.
$(document).ready(function()
{
//Display Loading Image
function Display_Load()
{
$("#loading").fadeIn(900,0);
$("#loading").html("<img src="bigLoader.gif" />");
}
//Hide Loading Image
function Hide_Load()
{
$("#loading").fadeOut('slow');
};

//Default Starting Page Results
$("#pagination li:first")
.css({'color' : '#FF0084'}).css({'border' : 'none'});
Display_Load();
$("#content").load("pagination_data.php?page=1", Hide_Load());

//Pagination Click
$("#pagination li").click(function(){
Display_Load();
//CSS Styles
$("#pagination li")
.css({'border' : 'solid #dddddd 1px'})
.css({'color' : '#0063DC'});

$(this)
.css({'color' : '#FF0084'})
.css({'border' : 'none'});

//Loading Data
var pageNum = this.id;
$("#content").load("pagination_data.php?page=" + pageNum, Hide_Load());
});

});

config.php
You have to change hostname, username, password and databasename.
<?php
$mysql_hostname = "localhost";
$mysql_user = "username";
$mysql_password = "password";
$mysql_database = "database";
$bd = mysql_connect($mysql_hostname, $mysql_user, $mysql_password)
or die("Opps some thing went wrong");
mysql_select_db($mysql_database, $bd)
or die("Opps some thing went wrong");
?>

pagination.php
User interface page.
<?php
include('config.php');
$per_page = 9;

//Calculating no of pages
$sql = "select * from messages";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
$pages = ceil($count/$per_page)
?>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/
libs/jquery/1.3.0/jquery.min.js
"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery_pagination.js"></script>

<div id="loading" ></div>
<div id="content" ></div>
<ul id="pagination">
<?php
//Pagination Numbers
for($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++)
{
echo '<li id="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</li>';
}
?>
</ul>

pagination_data.php
Simple php script display data from the messages table.
<?php
include('config.php');
$per_page = 9;
if($_GET)
{
$page=$_GET['page'];
}

$start = ($page-1)*$per_page;
$sql = "select * from messages order by msg_id limit $start,$per_page";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
?>
<table width="800px">
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$msg_id=$row['msg_id'];
$message=$row['message'];
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $msg_id; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $message; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</table>

CSS Code

  1. Why in page 6 there are no messages? I think line:

    $start = ($page-1)*10;

    Should be changed to

    $start = ($page-1)*$per_page;

  3. Great job!

    There is one mistake in this tutorial:

    this:
    var pageNum = $ ( this ) . id;

    should be:
    var pageNum = this.id;

  13. Nice, i like it, i managed to include this into codeigniter project using the query string feature ON with $_GET variables and on a search form. For example you have form with one input text and one select box, you type in something, select feature from the select box, click search and you get the first 10 results with your pagination and i put the $_POST variables within hidden inputs, so when i make ajax calls to the server i am using the hidden variables to pass to ajax and it came out really good. Thank you very much for your idea though!

  14. How could I add preview and next links?

    Thanks for this great script.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Is there any way preview and next links can be added with disabled links as well? Or is it too hard to implement?

    ReplyDelete
  16. yeah.. first page, next page or last page button.. is there any solution..

    ReplyDelete
  17. how about with large data and lots page..

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hello, I have a little hack for this.
    Replace the for loop with your own links.

    For the 1st page link just add '1',
    for the last add the var $pages.
    Now for Prev and Next you have to add 2 hidden inputs, one for currentPage and one for lastPage.

    The next link will be currentPage+1 and the prev currentPage-1.
    Then write a code to disable the next and the last links in the last page, the same for the first page and then you are ready!

    I hope this helps you out!

    ReplyDelete
  24. @test-test

    mysql_fetch_array() supplied argumenet in not a valid MySQL result?

    You have to check the SQL statement.

    eg: $sql="Sql Statement";
    $row=mysql_fetch_array($sql);

  27. what is the paging.js file for? I do not see it referenced for this tutorial?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Replace:

    //Calculating no of pages
    $sql = "select * from messages";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    $count = mysql_num_rows($result);
    $pages = ceil($count/$per_page);

    with:

    //Calculating no of pages
    $sql = "select count(*) from messages";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    $count = mysql_fetch_row($result);
    $pages = ceil($count[0]/$per_page);

    because:
    Letting MySQL do the counting is SIGNIFICANTLY faster, as it only counts the entries rather than parsing all data, AND only returns a very small block of data :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. $per_page=1;
    its not show 1 id show only other

  33. I'm using this solution (though quite modified) on one of my sites. In regards to a previous question, I am paging through 55,000+ records (2,000+ pages) and not having any issues. So long as the data PER PAGE is small enough to not eat all of PHP's memory, you'll be fine.

  34. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this degrade gracefully (i.e., still work to some degree when javascript is disabled)?

  37. Hello Srinivas Tamada:
    Thanks for the script! As mentioned earlier this is a very good tool. As also mentioned earlier it would be of great value if you could add or show us how to add the NEXT and PREVIOUS prompts.
    Nothing fancy, just the ability to advance or retreat. I was able to write a successful PREVIOUS routine for this but I can’t find a way to find the maximum number of pages to implement a trap for the NEXT routine.
    Thanks in advance for support.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Code doesn't pass w3 validation. You are starting an "id" attribute with a number.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Good tutorial,

    Never use digits starting and id like id="1" in html,

    you have to add a prefix, like id="page1"

    ReplyDelete
  40. nice tutorial but when i executed only the page number is displaying and when i hover the numbers i ddont see any link in the browser

    ReplyDelete
  41. Great tutorial!

    But there is an error that blocks the results.

    Simply replace this code:
    limit $start, $per_page";

    For this code:
    limit $per_page, $start";

  42. Can someone give an example of how we can handle multiple results in pagination. like in example, what if we have 100 pages. how can i only show the first 10 results and the last, and when i click on page 10 seeing the next 10 and the last and so on.

    ReplyDelete
  43. How can I have that same system using only the links "next" and "previous" in this style ( ), ie, no numbers, and the navigation function in the same way the tutorial?

    question translated by google translator, excuse any gramatial errors , hehe.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thanks but.... There would be alot of numbers if i manage thousands of pages can You make a TUTORIAL on how to make pagination like:

    ReplyDelete
  128. This is a great tutorial i have ever seen so precise and simple no doubt at all. But the problem is that there is been too much concern enough to modify the script to include the next and previous links, if for nothing but for the sake of the beginners. All through the post every body seemed to care about that. Please do include it in the download zip file or at least do a little write up on how to do it along with rest of the code and thanks greatly for the tutorial,
