Hello all, I am getting to the point where I need to start thinking about doing pagination for search results. I did some searches and it looks like there are some pagination modules, but I am not quite interested in going that route yet. I am using a handful of columns from the search so I do not think that retrieving all results and then only showing a subset will be very efficient. It also looks like you can execute FOUND_ROWS() after doing your initial query and it will give you the total results. This is probably the best route, but it is not easily implemented with the way I have set up my functions. Are there any other options that I have missed? Suggestions?
If you are not interested in using the modules, it is not actually that hard to roll your own. In the past I have done different things for total counts, either two separate queries, one just a 'SELECT COUNT(*)' and the other to actually fetch the data. Depending on your data you might be able to add the count into your data fetching query but probably not. Why do you not want to use the modules? Thanks,
