Maxim Paginator is a PHP Class written by Adeeyo Sulaiman A. (Maxim Web Technologies).
 
How to Use
  • Instantiate the class: First you need to instantiate the class like this
    		•

    $classInstant = new MaximPaginator($hostname, $server_username, $server_password, $database_name, $recordPerPage, $querySQL);

    e.g To instantiate the class for an sql "SELECT * FROM table" with maximum of 10 record returns per page.

    $paginator = new MaximPaginator("localhost", "root", "password", "myDb", 10, "SELECT * FROM table");
     
  • Set the class variable vars: Although this step is not compulsory but it is advised to follow to avoid inconsistency. This will enable the class to retain all url ($_GETS[]) data e.g if the query depends on a url data like incase of a search, the class will still retains this data in the navigation link.
    		•
    $vars = get_defined_vars();
    $paginator->setDefinedVars($vars);
    Note if the step is taken, the first line is not to be edited.
     
  • Get Query Resource: You can get the query resource processed by the class for use in your program.
    		•
    $queryRes = $paginator->getQueryResource();
     
  • Customise Navigation Links: You can customised the navigation link word which are defaulted as "Next, Previous, Last, First". You can change those defaulted link word by your own wordsor graphics(images).
    		•
