codeigniter active record get query and query without the LIMIT clause

Question

im using active record, its all working ok but i want to set the $data[\"totalres\"] to the total results, i mean, the same query but without the LI

Answer 1

I would actually suggest the use of CIs query caching.

To use this, you start the cache, build the query without the limits in place. Run your query to get the full count, then apply the limit and run the query to get your list for your page with the offset you need.

The cache will remember the variables that have been defined.

You can then clear the cache for subsequent queries.

Example

    $this->db->start_cache();

    // Where, like, having clauses in here

    $this->db->stop_cache();

    $count = $this->db->get('table')->num_rows();

    $this->db->limit('limit', 'offset');

    $result = $this->db->get('table')->result_array();

    $this->db->flush_cache();
