Php & Mysql Pagination simplified (pagination with search)

Build and configure a php pagination class that limits per-page results, tracks the current and last pages from total rows, and generates navigation links using the request and script paths.

Define a PHP constructor that initializes the total rows and per-page limit, computes the last page from rows divided by per-page, and sets the current page from the URL parameter.

Implement a pagination links generator that iterates pages, renders list items with an active current page state, and adjusts links based on results per page.

Instantiate a class with total rows and per-page display, calculate the last page, render pagination links, and pass the page as a query parameter to compute the offset.

Learn to refactor pagination link generation into a reusable method, support next, previous, and numbered links, and preserve search query strings in URLs using http_build_query.

Define and render PHP pagination controls for previous and next, preserving query strings, hiding previous on page one and next on last page, and prepare an offset calculation for paging.

Calculate the limit and offset to paginate rows: compute offset as (current page - 1) times limit and apply these in SQL statements to display per-page results.

Integrate pagination with a movies project by counting results, computing offset and limit, and rendering dynamic pagination links generated by a paginator class.
