PHP-Pagination contains an instantiable class, along with a view which renders the pagination markup.
The purpose of this library is to provide a simple API to render pagination
markup, without having to worry about including common files and set too many
settings. With this class, you simply pass in your parameters and make a call to
the instance's parse
method.
// source inclusion
require_once APP . '/vendors/PHP-Pagination/Pagination.class.php';
// set the page number (based on a URL param; cast as an int; ensure min page number)
$page = $_GET['page'] ?? 1;
$page = (int) $page;
$page = min($page, 1);
// instantiate; set current page; set number of records per page; number of records in total
$pagination = new Pagination();
$pagination->setCurrent($page);
$pagination->setRPP(24);
$pagination->setTotal(200);
// grab rendered pagination markup
$markup = $pagination->parse();
