Create Database & table

create a database named "dbpaging" and import the following sql code in phpmyadmin.

CREATE TABLE `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (
`tuts_id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`tuts_title` VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL ,
`tuts_link` VARCHAR( 200 ) NOT NULL 
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

now insert some records in the table paste the following code

INSERT INTO `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (`tuts_id`, `tuts_title`, `tuts_link`) VALUES (NULL, 'Dynamic Drop Down Menu using PHP & MySQLi', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/03/dynamic-drop-down-menu-using-php-and.html'), (NULL, 'How to use PHP Data Object - PDO tutorial', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/03/how-to-use-php-data-object-pdo-tutorial.html');
INSERT INTO `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (`tuts_id`, `tuts_title`, `tuts_link`) VALUES (NULL, 'PHP CRUD tutorial with MySQLi extension', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/03/php-crud-tutorial-with-mysqli-extension.html'), (NULL, 'Drop Down Menu using CSS3 & jQuery', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/02/how-to-create-drop-down-menu-using-css3.html');
INSERT INTO `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (`tuts_id`, `tuts_title`, `tuts_link`) VALUES (NULL, 'Server Side Form Valiations', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/02/server-side-form-validations-using-php.html'), (NULL, 'Registration & Login Script with PHP MySQl', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/01/user-registration-and-login-script-using-php-mysql.html');
INSERT INTO `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (`tuts_id`, `tuts_title`, `tuts_link`) VALUES (NULL, 'PHP CRUD with MySQL Part - 2', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/01/php-oop-crud-tutorial-with-mysql-part-2.html'), (NULL, 'Delete uploaded files from Folder', 'https://codingcage.com/2014/12/delete-uploaded-files-from-folder-in-php.html');
INSERT INTO `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (`tuts_id`, `tuts_title`, `tuts_link`) VALUES (NULL, 'Fetch data From Multiple tables', 'https://codingcage.com/2014/12/fetch-data-from-multiple-tables-in-php.html'), (NULL, 'File Upload and View with PHP & MySQl', 'https://codingcage.com/2014/12/file-upload-and-view-with-php-and-mysql.html');
INSERT INTO `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (`tuts_id`, `tuts_title`, `tuts_link`) VALUES (NULL, 'Simple PHP CRUD operations', 'https://codingcage.com/2014/12/simple-php-crud-operations-with-mysql.html'), (NULL, 'Validations', 'https://codingcage.com/search/label/validations');
INSERT INTO `dbpaging`.`tbl_tutorials` (`tuts_id`, `tuts_title`, `tuts_link`) VALUES (NULL, 'HTML5 Form validations', 'https://codingcage.com/2015/03/html5-form-validations-with-pattern.html'), (NULL, 'PHP', 'https://codingcage.com/search/label/php');

Create a new file and name it ‘dbconfig.php’ and paste the following code inside it.

dbconfig.php

Set the credentials for the database and make a new PDO connection if the connection fails display the error .
Next include the ‘class.paging.php’ file and make an instance of it, pass in the database object to the class to make use of the database.

<?php

$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "root";
$db_pass = "";
$db_name = "dbpaging";

try
{
     $DB_con = new PDO("mysql:host={$db_host};dbname={$db_name}",$db_user,$db_pass);
     $DB_con->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $exception)
{
     echo $exception->getMessage();
}

include_once 'class.paging.php';
$paginate = new paginate($DB_con);

class.paging.php

this is the main class file which paginates the database records.
>> dataview() : function selects the whole records from database table.
>> paging() : function set’s the QueryString like “page_no=number”.
>> paginglink() : function creates the paging number links with “Next and Last” feature.

<?php

class paginate
{
     private $db;
 
     function __construct($DB_con)
     {
         $this->db = $DB_con;
     }
 
     public function dataview($query)
     {
         $stmt = $this->db->prepare($query);
         $stmt->execute();
 
         if($stmt->rowCount()>0)
         {
                while($row=$stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
                {
                   ?>

   }
   ?></td></tr><?php
  }
 }
}

index.php

this file contains HTML and few lines of PHP code to display Paginated.
include above created ‘dbconfig.php’ in this file to use class files functions data.
you can change records per page number in this file i have set 3 .

<?php
include_once("dbconfig.php");
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
<table align="center" width="50%"  border="1">

        $query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_tutorials";       
        $records_per_page=3;
        $newquery = $paginate->paging($query,$records_per_page);
        $paginate->dataview($newquery);
        $paginate->paginglink($query,$records_per_page);  
        ?>
