Query to database and display - mysql

Question

I use CodeIgniter 2.1.3, PHP and MySQL.
Hello, I want to display data from database. Always I display by foreach($results as $data), but now I want do display all data in few step. Display first record and when user click next then display next row from database. I now that I must use mysql_fetch_row() but I don't know how I can do it...
This is my model:
public function play($limit, $start) {
$this->db->limit($limit, $start);
$query = $this->db->get("quiz");
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
$data[] = $row;
}
return $data;
}
return false;
}
controler:
public function index()
{
$config = array();
$config["base_url"] = base_url() . "index.php/main_menu/Quiz/index";
$config["total_rows"] = $this->quiz_model->record_count();
$config["per_page"] = 11;
$config["uri_segment"] = 4;
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$page = ($this->uri->segment(4)) ? $this->uri->segment(4) : 0;
$data["results"] = $this->quiz_model->play($config["per_page"], $page);
$data["links"] = $this->pagination->create_links();
$this->load->view('left_column/quiz_open', $data);
}
Pagination is not important.
and view:
<form>
<?php
if (empty($results)) {
}
else {
foreach($results as $data) { ?>
<label style='width:450px;'> <b> &nbsp <?php echo $data->pytanie?> </b> </label>
<label style='width:300px;'> <input type="radio" name="Wiek" value=<?php echo $data->odp1 ?> /> <?php echo $data->odp1 ?> </label>
<label style='width:300px;'> <input type="radio" name="Wiek" value=<?php echo $data->odp2 ?> /> <?php echo $data->odp2 ?> </label>
<label style='width:300px;'> <input type="radio" name="Wiek" value=<?php echo $data->odp3 ?> /> <?php echo $data->odp3 ?> </label>
<?php }
}?>
<label style='width:300px;'> <input type="submit" name="Wyslij" id="Wyslij" value="&nbsp Wyślij &nbsp"/> </label>
</form>

There is an inbuilt Pagination class provided by codeIgniter. You can find it in user guide.
Define a start index variable in the function where u want to use pagination as zero.
public function pagination($start_index = 0)
{
$result = $this->model->get_results($data); //this $data is the argument which you are passing to your model function. If you are using database to get results array.
$items_per_page = 10; //this is constant variable which you need to define
$filtered_result = array_splice($result, $start_index, ITEM_PER_PAGE_USERS);
$model['$filtered_result'] = $filtered_result;
$total_rows = count($result);
$model['page_links'] = create_page_links (base_url()."/controlelr_name/pagination",ITEM_PER_PAGE_USERS, $total_rows);
$this->load->view('controller_name/view_file_name', $model);
}
This is a generalised function for pagination. You can keep this function in one helper file where you keep all generalised functions.
function create_page_links($base_url, $per_page, $total_rows)
{
$CI = & get_instance();
$CI->load->library('pagination');
$config['base_url'] = $base_url;
$config['total_rows'] = $total_rows;
$config['per_page'] = $per_page;
$CI->pagination->initialize($config);
return $CI->pagination->create_links();
}
This create page links function is a generic function.............for more explanation check pagination class from user guide......
