a sample from my db class, i had to store the total in a session as calling the total on every page on a large database was painful doing count(*) or even SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS, on a small database u just cant tell but on a database of 100k + it was painful to load each page ;)
function page_query($per_page, $query, $page, $session_var, $debug = null, $start_session = null) { if ($start_session) session_start(); if(!$page) { $this->page = 1; $this->start = 0; } else { $this->page = $page; $this->start = ($this->page - 1) * $per_page; } if ((!$page && !$_SESSION[''.$session_var.'']) || (! $_SESSION[''.$session_var.''])) { $query = preg_replace("/SELECT|select/","\\0 SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS",$query); $query = "$query LIMIT $this->start, $per_page"; $result = $this->query($query); if ($debug) $this->debug(); $row = $this->getOne("SELECT FOUND_ROWS() as total_rows"); $_SESSION[''.$session_var.''] = $row['total_rows']; $this->total = $_SESSION[''.$session_var.'']; } else { $query = "$query LIMIT $this->start, $per_page"; $result = $this->query($query); if ($debug) $this->debug(); $this->total = $_SESSION[''.$session_var.'']; } $this->pages = ceil($this->total / $per_page); return $result; } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
