Pagination Script and Tutorial for PHP MySQL Programmers Paging Results

August 30, 2015 php No comments

By Adams:

Hello fellow php coders

This is a pagination script and tutorial created custom for educational purposes. Spread it around to people asking about how to page out database result sets. We are using PHP, MySQL, CSS, and HTML. Very simple and jQuery Ajax could be applied to make the page changing not require refreshing of the page.

This script is accompanied by this in depth VIDEO TUTORIAL:

First here is what this script will render in a browser:

Total Items: 381

Page 6 of 39 Back 4 5 6 7 8 Next

Below is the PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS code that renders the output above.

You have to put your mysql connection data, and alter the SQL queries(both queries).
