I made a paginator but the problem is that it shows page number on bottom when there is only one page. So I tried to add if~else but I can't get it to work. "Error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded "
before
<div class="pagination">
<?php for($x = 1; $x <= $pages; $x++): ?>
<a href="?page=<?php echo $x; ?>"<?php if($page === $x) { echo ' class="selected" '; } ?>><?php echo $x ?></a>
<?php endfor; ?>
</div>
after
<div class="pagination">
<?php
if($pages > 1){
for($x = 1; $x <= $pages; $x++):
if($x = 1)
{
?>
<a href="?page=<?php echo $x; ?>"<?php if($page === $x) { echo ' class="selected" '; } ?>><?php echo $x ?></a>
<?php
} else {
echo '';
}
endfor;
}
?>
</div>
Assuming $pages
is the total count of pages you have, you need to wrap your custom pagination in an if
statement to check you have more than 1 page before displaying your pagination.
<?php if ($pages > 1): ?>
<div class="pagination">
<?php for ($x = 1; $x <= $pages; $x++): ?>
<a href="?page=<?php echo $x; ?>"<?php if($page === $x) { echo ' class="selected" '; } ?>><?php echo $x ?></a>
<?php endfor; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Your code is breaking because you are doing the if
statement inside your for
loop and setting the value of $x
to 1
every time (you're using =
instead of ==
). This will get you stuck in an infinite loop.
If you're using CakePHP is there a reason why you are not using it's inbuilt Pagination? The PaginatorHelper
should provide you all the methods you need to display pagination if you are.
