Pagination in library file return blank result - El Forum - 04-11-2008

[eluser]geshan[/eluser]
I'm working on a library for something I want to paginiate the results of a SQL query.

I've loaded he pagination library in the constructor of the library.

Code:
$this->CI->load->library('pagination');

//and other needed variables 

$this->controller = $this->CI->uri->segment(1);

// Set the base URL

$this->base_url = $this->CI->config->site_url().'/'.$this->CI->uri->segment(1).$this->CI->uri->slash_segment(2, 'both');

//assume total_rows also has value say 10 and query is running OK.

I just need a function to get the pagination links that I can send to the controller as an array element like

Code:
$query_res['paging_links']=paginate(5); //5 is per page results

The paginate function that return me nothing is:

Code:
function paginate($page_size){

        //LIMIT ".$offset.",".$perpage); 

         $config['uri_segment'] = 4; //$this->CI->URI->total_segments();

         $config['base_url'] = $this->base_url;

         $config['total_rows'] = $this->total_rows;

         $config['per_page'] = $page_size;

         $config['num_links'] = 5;

         $config['full_tag_open'] = '<div id="pagination">'; 

         $config['full_tag_close'] = '</div>';

         $config['first_link'] = '<< Start';

         $config['last_link'] = 'End >>';

         $config['next_link'] = 'Next >';

         $config['prev_link'] = '< Prev';

         $this->CI->pagination->initialize($config);

        $paging_links=$this->CI->pagination->create_links();

        echo "<br><br>Paging links in paginate has: ".$paging_links;

        return $paging_links;

    }//function paginate close

Above paginate function used to work ok in a controller, Whats wrong with the above code, please help...

$this->CI ?
Probably you need to use

Code:
$CI =& get_instance();

$CI->pagination->initialize($config);

// ............

instead...

Also, It is recommended to enable display_errors on development to find out the errors faster... you can simple ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
