Pagination

The pagination class make pagination-generation easy. By simply instantiating the object and passing in the current page and the total count from your database, you instantly have everything you need to make the perfect pagination including a list of pages to display and a secondary page list for SEO!

Example Usage:

Simply instantiate a Pagination object and indicate the current page and total result count.

$page = $_GET['page']; //page 3
$totalCount = $db->countRows(); //500 items
$pagination = new Pagination($page, $totalCount);
$pageData = $pagination->toArray();

Now $pageData will contain all the information you need to make your paging. Here's what the above example produces:

Array
(
    [countPerPage] => 10
    [currentPage] => 3
    [totalPages] => 50
    [currentOffset] => 20
    [totalCount] => 500
    [maxPagesToDisplay] => 5
    [maxSeoPagesToDisplay] => 5
    [pagesToDisplay] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 2
            [2] => 3
            [3] => 4
            [4] => 5
        )

    [seoPagesToDisplay] => Array
        (
            [0] => 31
            [1] => 32
            [2] => 33
            [3] => 34
            [4] => 35
        )

)

The Pagination class is of course quite configurable. You can optionally specify parameters when instantiating the object to control the count per page, number of page to display, and number of SEO pages to display.

Here is a list of each of the available functions in Pagination and how they work.
