Pagination: How to get total number of pages?

Here is a list of all the methods on the paginator:

https://laravel.com/docs/master/pagination#paginator-instance-methods

So the very first one is what you need :)

You can create your custom view and use that.

$results->count() => Get the number of items for the current page.

This gives me how many items are there on the current page. I want the total number of pages.

@thebigk okay, there are other methods :)

$results->total() - Determine the total number of matching items in the data store. (Not available when using simplePaginate).

I really appreciate your responses; but that too isn't what I want. Results $results->total() gives me the total number of records, not pages in paginator.

For example, let's say I have 100 records and if I :

1. Paginate at 10 rows; I will get 10 pages
2. Paginate at 5 rows; I will get 20 pages

I'm interested in getting pages count.

@thebigk using the methods, here is the total number of pages, a bit of a math :)

dd((int) ceil($results->total() / $results->perPage()));

Or Taylor has also done the simple math for you

$results->lastPage();

So in your example 2 above, would be 20.

Not available when using simplePaginate. Also, if using lengthaware you have to do some simple math yourself.

I just noticed, @thebigk when @nakov gave you the link to the paginator-instance-methods, you should have seen for yourself that lastPage is also the same as the number of pages.

@jlrdw good point. Didn't noticed the method myself :) Thanks.

I want to display : Viewing Page 3 of 335.

I already did a guide for that very thing: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/guides/paginator-another-episode
