Question

I want to create updated URL when Next 1000 button is clicked on the current page. i.e incrementing number by 1000 every time Next 1000 is clicked.

e.g: If the current URL is

mywebsite.com/people.php?number=0

Next 1000 should be saying:

 mywebsite.com/people.php?number=1000

And so on it continues every time button is clicked

<?php
$count = 1000;
?>

<a href="people.php?number=<?php echo $_GET['number'] + $count ;?>">Next 1000</a>

I know there are a ton of pagination scripts out there. I’m using jQuery to fetch 1000 records at a time.

I just want a button to allow the users to load the next 1000 if they want to.

Answer 1

You would want to do some checks on the input, but this is the basic answer:

<a href="people.php?number=<?=$_GET['number']+1000?>">Next 1000</a>

Safer bet would be:

<?
$increment = (is_numeric($_GET['number']))?$_GET['number']+1000:1000;
?>
<a href="people.php?number=<?=$increment?>">Next 1000</a>
