Question

I am trying to implement the pagination in php. I am using the Mysql as back end database. I am trying to implement the pagination logic.

I would be having lots of record. But the user will see only 10 at a time.
Now to show the first page, i do a

   SELECT * from USERS LIMIT 10. 

Now to get the next 10 and the subsequent 10 records i am not able to write a query. Please help me fetch the in between records to support pagination logic. Also provide if any other suggestions for pagination.

Answer 1

You should use the OFFSET option.

SELECT * FROM Users LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10 (or 20, or 30);

That way you just pass the start position in the request when you hit next (or the page number) and you’ll retrieve the records you want.
