PaginatedArray::getPaginationString() method

Get a "1 to 10 of 50" type of string useful for pagination headlines.

This returns a string of 1 to 10 of 30 (items) or 1 of 10 (pages) for example.

Since 3.0.108 you can optionally replace either of the arguments with an $options o array instead, and you can specify any of these options:

  • label (string): Label to use for items, same as $label argument (default='').
  • zeroLabel (string): Alternate label to use if there are zero items, since 3.0.127 (default='').
  • usePageNum (bool): Specify true to show page numbers rather than item numbers (default=false).
  • count (int): Use this count rather than count in this PaginatedArray (default=-1, disabled).
  • start (int): Use this start rather than start in this PaginatedArray (default=-1, disabled).
  • limit (int): Use this limit rather than limit in this PaginatedArray (default=-1, disabled).
  • total (int): Use this total rather than total in this PaginatedArray (default=-1, disabled).

Example

// Get string like "Items 1 to 25 of 500"
echo $items->getPaginationString('Items');

// Get string like "Page 1 of 10"
echo $items->getPaginationString('Page', true);

// Get string where you specify all options
echo $items->getPaginationString(array(
  'label' => 'Items',
  'zeroLabel' => 'No items found', // 3.0.127+ only
  'usePageNum' => false,
  'count' => 10,
  'start' => 0,
  'limit' => 10,
  'total' => 100
));

Usage

// basic usage
$string = $paginatedArray->getPaginationString();

// usage with all arguments
$string = $paginatedArray->getPaginationString($label = '', $usePageNum = false);
