Here’s the full list of what’s new in version 2.1:

fixed some bugs with having pagination links shown in reverse order; thanks to marcin for all the feedback;

Zebra_Pagination, version 2.0 now available

Stefan Gabos — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:42:50 +0000

This update marks the start of porting all my PHP libraries to PHP5 and finally dropping support for PHP4. Other than that, some good new stuff in this release, the major one being that you no longer have to hack around to center the pagination which will now be centered by default. Here’s the full list of what’s new in version 2.0:

dropped support for PHP4; the library now requires PHP5+;
fixed a bug where if parts of the URL had HTML entities, these would wrongly be encoded again by the library when generating the pagination links; thanks to Phil;
“next page” and “previous page” links will now show their associated labels by default (label were previously hidden from the library’s stylesheet file); labels can be changed/localized with the newly added labels method; also, the “next page” and “previous page” links are now always visible instead of just when there were more pages than the value of selectable pages;
pagination links can now be generated also in reverse order; use the newly added reverse method for that; thanks to marcin for suggesting;
everything is now centered by default;
changed the “next” and “previous” icons;
tweaked the CSS file;

Zebra_Pagination, version 1.3 now available

Stefan Gabos — Thu, 03 May 2012 20:26:10 +0000

Here’s what’s new in version 1.3: the URL specified through the “base_path” method can now contain query strings; previously query strings in this value got automatically removed; also, any query strings existing in the page’s URL were *always* preserved – now the “base_path” method accepts an additional argument to disable this behavior; thanks to Kesuma, Augusto Carvalho dos Santos, moregatest and to all the people reporting these things; by also including a newly added JavaScript file, hashes in the URL can now also be preserved; the simple inclusion of the JavaScript file will do the trick; not including it will mean that hashes will not be preserved; thanks to Alan for requesting this;

Zebra_Pagination, version 1.2.1 now available

Stefan Gabos — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:44:58 +0000

In version 1.2.1 a bug was fixed that appeared in version 1.2, that would remove all query string parameters from the URL, except the page-related one; thanks to kumbing for reporting; also, when method is “url”, the link to the first page does not include the “page” parameter anymore, in order to avoid duplicate content; previously this was true only for when method was “get”;

Zebra_Pagination version 1.1c now available

Stefan Gabos — Thu, 05 May 2011 15:50:03 +0000

Zebra_Pagination is a generic pagination class that automatically generates navigation links given the total number of items and the number of items per page.

This is a *generic* pagination class, meaning that it does not display any records! It is up to developer to fetch the actual data and displaying it based on the information returned by this class. The advantage is that it can be used to paginate over records coming from any source (arrays, database, etc).

In version 1.1c a bug was fixed regarding the improper handling of the “next” link, when on first page; thanks to Jan for reporting.
