Hi. can someone help me with my problem regarding search function, i have hard time knowing where to insert my
if(isset($_POST['search'])).................and so on codes within my phpfile.
here is my code, (pagination working)

    <?php
    $sql = "SELECT COUNT(user_id) FROM view_onse_officers";
    $query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_row($query);
    $rows = $row[0];
    $page_rows =10;
    $last = ceil($rows/$page_rows);
    if($last < 1){
        $last = 1;
    }
    $pagenum = 1;
    if(isset($_GET['pn'])){
        $pagenum = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#', '', $_GET['pn']);
    }

    if ($pagenum < 1) { 
        $pagenum = 1; 
    } else if ($pagenum > $last) { 
        $pagenum = $last; 
    }

    $limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pagenum - 1) * $page_rows .',' .$page_rows;

    $sql = "SELECT user_id, studentno, username, CONCAT(last_name, ', ', first_name) AS name, posname, course, gender FROM view_onse_officers $limit";
    $query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);

    $textline2 = "Page <b>$pagenum</b> of <b>$last</b>";

    $paginationCtrls = '';

    if($last != 1){

        if ($pagenum > 1) {
            $previous = $pagenum - 1;
            $paginationCtrls .= '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?pn='.$previous.'">Previous</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; ';

            for($i = $pagenum-4; $i < $pagenum; $i++){
                if($i > 0){
                    $paginationCtrls .= '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?pn='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> &nbsp; ';
                }
            }
        }

        $paginationCtrls .= ''.$pagenum.' &nbsp; ';

        for($i = $pagenum+1; $i <= $last; $i++){
            $paginationCtrls .= '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?pn='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> &nbsp; ';
            if($i >= $pagenum+4){
                break;
            }
        }

        if ($pagenum != $last) {
            $next = $pagenum + 1;
            $paginationCtrls .= ' &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?pn='.$next.'">Next</a> ';
        }

    $list = '';

For pagination, this will help you Pagination

my pagination is working without search.
but when i input on my search box, it only shows data from $limit.
example i have 100 data on my table
then i search for name 'ben'. if there is 50 data that has name like ben
it only shows 10 base on the $limit that i've declared. thanks for the source link but i already have my pagination

Hi

can you test line 24.

just for test replace 24 as below

 $sql = "SELECT user_id, studentno, username, CONCAT(last_name, ', ', first_name) AS name, posname, course, gender FROM view_onse_officers $limit, 10";

may i ask for its databases? :)
