kindly help me..

i just want to search any input in a text box and display it in a pagination its my need.

Answer 1

Your problem is LIMIT 2 which will only return 2 rows.

You need to:

1. Remove the LIMIT
2. Count the number of records
3. Decide how many records to display per page
4. Pass a 'page' variable in the URL
5. use array_splice() to output a subset of the results depending on page number

No one said it was easy. :)

Answer 2

Use this pagination code

    include("../connect.php");
        $tableName="jobpost";   
        $targetpage = "view_data.php";  
        $limit =10;
        $_GET['searchtext'];


        $query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tableName";
        $total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
        $total_pages = $total_pages['num'];

        $stages = 3;
        $page = mysql_escape_string($_GET['page']);
        if($page){
            $start = ($page - 1) * $limit; 
        }else{
            $start = 0; 
            }   


        // Get page data
        $query1 = "SELECT * FROM $tableName  WHERE jobtitle LIKE     
'%$searchtext%' LIMIT $start, $limit";
        $result = mysql_query($query1);

        // Initial page num setup
        if ($page == 0){$page = 1;}
        $prev = $page - 1;  
        $next = $page + 1;  
        $lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);  
        $LastPagem1 = $lastpage - 1;    
        $paginate = '';
        if($lastpage > 1)
        {       
            $paginate .= "<div class='paginate'>";
            // Previous

            if ($page > 1){
                $paginate.= "<a href='$targetpage?page=$prev'>Previous</a>";
            }else{
                $paginate.= "<span class='disabled'>Previous</span>";   }
            // Pages    
            if ($lastpage < 7 + ($stages * 2))  // Not enough pages to breaking it up
            {   
                for ($counter = 1; $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
                {
                    if ($counter == $page){
                        $paginate.= "<span class='current'>$counter</span>";
                    }else{
                        $paginate.= "<a href='$targetpage?page=$counter'>$counter</a>";}    
                }
            }
            elseif($lastpage > 5 + ($stages * 2))   // Enough pages to hide a few?
            {
                // Beginning only hide later pages
                if($page < 1 + ($stages * 2))

{$row['jobdescription']}</td> </tr> ".
        "<br>";
    echo "</table>"; */
}
}

add this where add pagination

echo "<center>".$paginate."</center>";

add style sheet

.paginate {
    font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    padding: 3px;
    margin: 3px;
}
.paginate a {
    padding:2px 5px 2px 5px;
    margin:2px;
    border:1px solid #999;
    text-decoration:none;
    color: #666;
}
.paginate a:hover, .paginate a:active {
    border: 1px solid #999;
    color: #0066FF;
}
.paginate span.current {
    margin: 2px;
    padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
    border: 1px solid #999;
    font-weight: bold;
    background-color: #999;
    color: #FFF;
}
.paginate span.disabled {
    padding:2px 5px 2px 5px;
    margin:2px;
    border:1px solid #eee;
    color:#DDD;
}
