Question

I have ran into a problem…

I have a bunch of where statments like so…

$this->db->where('Pool', "1");
$this->db->where('Bedrooms >=', "3");

Then a limit statement

$this->db->limit($limit, $offset);

And finally my get statement

$query = $this->db->get('table-name');

My problem is I need to count the results before my limit statement, to get the total rows without the limit.. So I tried this..

$this->db->where('Pool', "1");
$this->db->where('Bedrooms >=', "3");

$num_rows = $this->db->count_all_results();

$this->db->limit($limit, $offset);
$query = $this->db->get('table-name');

This counts my rows with the where statements fine.. However, the get statement now gets records without the previous where statements working.

It’s not visible, but there is a large amount of code handling more where statements, and grabbing things in urls, So I’d prefer not to perform the retrieval of data twice in order to fix this…

Cheers!

Answer 1

$get_data = $this->your_model->get_data();
$data     = $get_data['data'];
$count    = $get_data['count'];

Model

function get_data($limit = 10, $offset= 0)
{
    $table = 'table-name';
    $where = array('Pool' => 1, 'Beedrooms >=' 3);

    $return['data']  = $this->db->from($table)->where($where)->limit($limit, $offset)->get();
    $return['count'] = $this->db->from($table)->where($where)->count_all_results();

    return $return;
}
