Codeigniter 4 Pagination With Join and Where sql

But the thing I face here is the $total variable. It is not usable. Because imagine the total is 6 and I have 3 results per page for 10 results. Then after the second or third pagination it keeps showing the same, the last, item for the rest of the paginations.

Sorry, I don't get what you say.

$page is the current page number, starting at 1.
$perPage is the number of the records found you show on one page.
$total is the number of total records found.

And you need to modify get_all_offers_pending() so that returns data set with limit and offset.
The limit is $perPage. The offset can be calculated from $page.
