helloworld001 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 i am creating a responsive website. I'll give you an example. I am retriving 100 items from mysql database using php. I am only showing 20 items per page using simple pagination with arrows. I keep this format on desktop and tablets. However, I would like to show less items when I am viewing the page on a smartphone. So instead of 20 items per page, it'll show 5 items per page along with the pagination arrows. I was wondering if this is possible with PHP or would I have to use javascript?

mac_gyver Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 the number of items per page in your pagination code needs to be a php variable, that gets set to the appropriate value based on detecting the type of client that made the request to your page.

NotionCommotion Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I would start looking in $_SERVER to see if there is anything which indicates the browser so that you could determine the appopriate number or rows to display. If not, then use JavaScript to send a request to provide this information, store it in a session, and use this value to determine the course of action.
