Question

In my query using Symfony 1.4/Propel 1.4, for pagination purpose, I need to set limit like

Page1: LIMIT 0,6
Page2: LIMIT 6,6
Page3: LIMIT 12,6
.... & so on

I try

$c->setLimit(6);

Which is generating

LIMIT 6

I didn’t find setLimit methods with two parameters or similar function to set starting limit too. This is very common operation & I’m sure must be available in Propel but I’m unable to figure it out till now.

Can someone please suggest how set required limit (LIMIT 0,6)

Answer 1

You should use limit() and offset(), described here.

For

LIMIT 12,6

use (if you are using the 1.6 ModelCriteria)

$c->limit(6);
$c->offset(12);

and if you use old criteria:

$c->setLimit(12);
$c->setOffset(12);

By the way, why do you build your own pager? Symfony profive a sfPager (generic) and also a sfPropelPager which handle that pretty well (even if you use a custom criteria, you can defined it using setCriteria()).
