Invalid argument supplied for foreach() Pagination

Hi, this is my Controller:

PHP Code:

public function index()
  {
    $pager = \Config\Services::pager();

    $articlesModel = new ArticlesModel();
    $categoriesModel = new CategoriesModel();

    $data = [
      'title'      => 'articoli',
      'articles'   => $articlesModel->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->findAll(),
      'categories' => $categoriesModel->findAll(),
      'pag'        => $articlesModel->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->paginate(5),
      'pager'      => $articlesModel->pager,
    ];

    echo view('articles/index', $data);
  } 


This is my view:

PHP Code:

<ul class="uk-pagination">
  <?php foreach ($pager->links() as $link): ?>
    <li><a href=""></a></li>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul> 


I have this error: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

Thanks for help me! 

To show the pagination links you just do this:

PHP Code:

<?= $pager->links();?>

You use the foreach to output your database records.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Thanks for reply!

If i want use custom classes for <ul> and <li> and to have the button NEXT and PREV?

I read this but doesn't work: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libra...g-the-view

You need to create your own I have 2 custom bootstrap 4 pagers here I will post them for you

1) you need to edit app/Config/Pager and add the two lines below to the $templates array.

PHP Code:

'bs_full'        => 'Pagers\bs_full',
'bs_simple'      => 'Pagers\bs_simple', 


2) Create a folder under your Views folder called Pagers and add these two views to ir

app/Views/Pagers

bs_full.php

PHP Code:

<?php

/**
 * bs_full.php - Bootstrap 4 full Pager
 * @var \CodeIgniter\Pager\PagerRenderer $pager
 */

$pager->setSurroundCount(2);
?>

<nav aria-label="<?= lang('Pager.pageNavigation') ?>">
    <ul class="pager pagination justify-content-center">
        <?php if ($pager->hasPreviousPage()) : ?>
            <li class="page-item">
                <a class="page-link" href="<?= $pager->getFirst() ?>" aria-label="<?= lang('Pager.first') ?>">
                    <span aria-hidden="true"><?= lang('Pager.first') ?></span>
                </a>
            </li>
            <li class="page-item">
                <a class="page-link" href="<?= $pager->getPreviousPage() ?>" aria-label="<?= lang('Pager.previous') ?>">
                    <span aria-hidden="true"><?= lang('Pager.previous') ?></span>
                </a>
            </li>
        <?php endif ?>

        <?php foreach ($pager->links() as $link) : ?>
            <li <?= $link['active']  ? 'class="page-item active"' : '' ?>>
                <a class="page-link" href="<?= $link['uri'] ?>">
                    <?= $link['title'] ?>
                </a>
            </li>
        <?php endforeach ?>

        <?php if ($pager->hasNextPage()) : ?>
            <li class="page-item">
                <a class="page-link" href="<?= $pager->getNextPage() ?>" aria-label="<?= lang('Pager.next') ?>">
                    <span aria-hidden="true"><?= lang('Pager.next') ?></span>
                </a>
            </li>
            <li class="page-item">
                <a class="page-link" href="<?= $pager->getLast() ?>" aria-label="<?= lang('Pager.last') ?>">
                    <span aria-hidden="true"><?= lang('Pager.last') ?></span>
                </a>
            </li>
        <?php endif ?>
    </ul>
</nav> 


app/Views/Pagers

bs_simple.php

PHP Code:

<?php
/**
 * bs_simple.php - Bootstrap 4 Simple Pager
 * @var \CodeIgniter\Pager\PagerRenderer $pager
 */

$pager->setSurroundCount(0);
?>
<nav aria-label="Page Results">
    <ul class="pager pagination justify-content-center">
        <li <?= $pager->hasPrevious() ? 'class="page-item active"' : 'class="page-item disabled"' ?>>
            <a class="page-link" href="<?= $pager->getPrevious() ?? '#' ?>" aria-label="<?= lang('Pager.previous') ?>">
                <span aria-hidden="true"><?= lang('Pager.newer') ?></span>
            </a>
        </li>
        <li <?= $pager->hasNext() ? 'class="page-item active"' : 'class="page-item disabled"' ?>>
            <a class="page-link" href="<?= $pager->getnext() ?? '#' ?>" aria-label="<?= lang('Pager.next') ?>">
                <span aria-hidden="true"><?= lang('Pager.older') ?></span>
            </a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</nav> 


to load them in the controller and view is a little different

Controller:

PHP Code:

->paginate(3, 'group1'), 


And in the view you load it like this:

PHP Code:

<!-- Pagination -->
<div class="pagination justify-content-center mb-4">
    <?php if ( ! empty($pager)) {
        //echo $pager->simpleLinks('group1', 'bs_simple');
        echo $pager->links('group1', 'bs_full');
    } ?>
</div>

<br> 


See the group1 in the Controller code and the View code.

The ( Justify-content-center ) In the <ul> is to center both Pagers you can remove it
if you do not want them centered.

That will show you how it is done.

There is some error in your code in bs_full.php or something that doesn't work in my project because i have replace your code with the original code il CodeIgniter documentation and pagination work fine.

So, this is my code for pagination. I use UIkit framework and not Bootstrap. Change the HTML classes like you need.

/app/Config/Pager.php

PHP Code:

<?php namespace Config;

use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;

class Pager extends BaseConfig
{
    /*

    | appearance. This array contains aliases and the view names to
    | use when rendering the links.
    |
    | Within each view, the Pager object will be available as $pager,
    | and the desired group as $pagerGroup;
    |
    */
    public $templates = [

        'default_head'   => 'CodeIgniter\Pager\Views\default_head',
        'uk_full'        => 'App\Views\pagers\uk_full',

In your view (for example under the items table):

PHP Code:

  <?php
  if ( ! empty($pager))
  {
    //echo $pager->simpleLinks('group1', 'uk_simple'); 
    echo $pager->links('group1', 'uk_full');
  }
  ?>

/app/Controllers/NAME_OF_YOUR_CONTROLLER.php

PHP Code:

  public function index()
  {
    $pager = \Config\Services::pager();
    $model = new \App\Models\ArticleModel();

    $data = [
      'articles'   => $model->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->paginate(5, 'group1'),
      'pager'      => $model->pager,
    ];

    echo view('articles/index', $data);
  } 


Enjoy!
