Pagination with Jquery, PHP , Ajax and MySQL.

Long days back I had posted an article Pagination with jQuery, MySQL and PHP with out refreshing page. Modified old script and added extra features like First, Previous, Next and Last buttons. Use it and enrich your web applications.

ySQL messages table contains two columns msg_id and message

CREATE TABLE messages
(
msg_id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
message VARCHAR(150)
);

JavaScript Code
This script works like a data controller.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{

function loading_show()
{
$('#loading').html("<img src='images/loading.gif'/>").fadeIn('fast');
}

function loading_hide()
{
$('#loading').fadeOut();
}

function loadData(page)
{
loading_show();
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: "load_data.php",
data: "page="+page,
success: function(msg)
{
$("#container").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings)
{
loading_hide();
$("#container").html(msg);
});
}
});
}
loadData(1); // For first time page load default results
$('#container .pagination li.active').live('click',function(){
var page = $(this).attr('p');
loadData(page);
});
});

</script>

load_data.php
Contains PHP coding. Displaying data from the messages table.

<?php
include('db.php');
if($_POST['page'])
{
$page = $_POST['page'];
$cur_page = $page;
$page -= 1;
$per_page = 15; // Per page records
$previous_btn = true;
$next_btn = true;
$first_btn = true;
$last_btn = true;
$start = $page * $per_page;
include"db.php";
$query_pag_data = "SELECT msg_id,message from messages LIMIT $start, $per_page";
$result_pag_data = mysqli_query($query_pag_data);
$msg = "";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result_pag_data,MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
$htmlmsg=htmlentities($row['message']); //HTML entries filter
$msg .= "<li><b>" . $row['msg_id'] . "</b> " . $htmlmsg . "</li>";
}
$msg = "<div class='data'><ul>" . $msg . "</ul></div>"; // Content for Data
/* -----Total count--- */
$query_pag_num = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM messages"; // Total records
$result_pag_num = mysqli_query($query_pag_num);
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result_pag_num,MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$count = $row['count'];
$no_of_paginations = ceil($count / $per_page);
/* -----Calculating the starting and endign values for the loop----- */

//Some Code. Available in download script 

}
?>

db.php
Database configuration file, modify username, password and database values. 

<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'database');
$db = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER,DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD,DB_DATABASE);
?>
