set current page in Codeigniter pagination

You need to remember two things whenever you are going to implement pagination in Codeigniter:

First thing Configuration related to page generation which is actually:

    // Loads pagination library    $this->load->library('pagination');    // @params $url = your controller + method path    $config['base_url'] = base_url() . $url;    // @params $totalRows = Total  result found in query    $config['total_rows'] = $totalRows;    // @params $perPage = In your case it is 50    $config['per_page'] = $perPage;    // @params $segment = This is what you are missing in your code. Segment is the factor from where system reads which page records need to be shown    $config['uri_segment'] = $segment;    $this->pagination->initialize($config);

Second Thing Pagination configuration related to designing part:

$config['full_tag_open'] = '<ul class="pagination  pagination-sm m-t-none m-b-none">';$config['full_tag_close'] = '</ul>';$config['prev_link'] = '<i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i>';$config['prev_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['prev_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['next_link'] = '<i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i>';$config['next_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['next_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['cur_tag_open'] = '<li class="active"><a href="#">';$config['cur_tag_close'] = '</a></li>';$config['num_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['num_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['first_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['first_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['last_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['last_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['first_link'] = '<i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i>';$config['last_link'] = '<i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i><i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i>';$this->pagination->create_links();

This is the running script which I have been using in my projects. Working fine. You need to check uri_segment you are passing during initialization.

Let me know if you face any issue.

Try this -

    $config = array();    $config["base_url"] = base_url() . "index.php/controller/methods";    $config["total_rows"] = $this->db->count_all("db_table_name");    $config["per_page"] = 20;    $config["uri_segment"] = 3;    $this->load->library("pagination");    $this->pagination->initialize($config);    $page = ($this->uri->segment(3)) ? $this->uri->segment(3) : 0;    $data["results"] = $this->db->limit($config["per_page"],$page)->get("db_table_name")->result();    $data["links"] = $this->pagination->create_links();    $this->load->view('view_page',$data);

The view_page.php -

<table class="table-bordered"><?php foreach($results as $v){?><tr>    <td><?php echo $v->col1; ?></td>    <td><?php echo $v->col2; ?></td></tr><?php } ?></table><?php print_r($links); ?>

// Select query to count all possible records, and assing it to here//$count = //product pagination$config['base_url'] = base_url() . 'index.php/report/teee/';$config['total_rows'] = $count;$config['per_page'] = 50;$config['uri_segment'] = 3;$limit = $config['per_page'];// Bootstrap Stylings$config['full_tag_open'] = '<ul class="pagination">';$config['full_tag_close'] = '</ul>';$config['first_link'] = false;$config['last_link'] = false;$config['first_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['first_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['prev_link'] = '&laquo';$config['prev_tag_open'] = '<li class="prev">';$config['prev_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['next_link'] = '&raquo';$config['next_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['next_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['last_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['last_tag_close'] = '</li>';$config['cur_tag_open'] = '<li class="active"><a href="#">';$config['cur_tag_close'] = '</a></li>';$config['num_tag_open'] = '<li>';$config['num_tag_close'] = '</li>';$this->pagination->initialize($config);$page = ($this->uri->segment(3)) ? $this->uri->segment(3) : 0;$data['links'] = $this->pagination->create_links();$data['dataSource'] = $this->Sample_Model->select_query_for_get_data($limit,$page);
