How do I get the number of pages if I know the total number of items there are and how many items are shown on each page? For example, I know that I have 11 items and each page shows 10 items. So I would have 2 pages. How would I get the number of pages in PHP?
Thanks
Try ceil() function.
$pages = ceil($items/$itemsPerPage);
$count_pages = ceil($total / $items_per_page);
This should do the trick for you. Ceil rounds numbers upwards, always up.
<?php
$maxNrOfPages = ceil($max/$itemsPerPage);
?>
I believe the ceiling function is what you're looking for.
ceil($items/$items_per_page)
