How to use pagination ? i don't have a clue where to start.
I really need some help here.

This is the controller
if (!empty($_POST['submit'])) {
$aaa = $_POST['kikozasearch'];
}else {
$aaa = $_POST['kikozasearch'];
}
// API request variables
$endpoint = 'http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1'; // URL to call
$version = '1.0.0'; // API version supported by your application
$appid = ''; // Replace with your own AppID
$globalid = 'EBAY-US'; // Global ID of the eBay site you want to search (e.g., EBAY-DE)
$query = $aaa; // You may want to supply your own query
$safequery = urlencode($query); // Make the query URL-friendly
$i = '0'; // Initialize the item filter index to 0
$apicall = "$endpoint?";
$apicall .= "OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords";
$apicall .= "&SERVICE-VERSION=$version";
$apicall .= "&SECURITY-APPNAME=$appid";
$apicall .= "&GLOBAL-ID=$globalid";
$apicall .= "&keywords=$safequery";
$apicall .= "&paginationInput.pageNumber=$currentpage";
$apicall .= "&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=50";
//$apicall .= "&paginationOutput.totalPages";
$apicall .= "$urlfilter";
// Load the call and capture the document returned by eBay API
$resp = simplexml_load_file($apicall);
// Check to see if the request was successful, else print an error
if ($resp->ack == "Success") {
$results = '';
// If the response was loaded, parse it and build links
foreach($resp->searchResult->item as $item) {
$pic = $item->galleryURL;
$link = $item->viewItemURL;
$title = $item->title;
// For each SearchResultItem node, build a link and append it to $results
$results .= "<div><img src=\"$pic\"></td><td>$title$pag</div>";
}
}
// If the response does not indicate 'Success,' print an error
else {
$results = "<div class='alert alert-danger'><h4>Oops! The request was not successful. Make sure you are using a valid ";
$results .= "AppID for the Production environment.</h4></div>";
}
echo "We found: ".$resp->paginationOutput->totalEntries . " resaults!";
echo "<div class='alert alert-info'>".$results."</div>";
// echo $resp->paginationOutput->entriesPerPage;
// echo "<br>";
// echo $resp->paginationOutput->totalEntries;
// echo "<br>";
// echo $resp->paginationOutput->totalPages;
echo $currentpage;
echo "/".$resp->paginationOutput->totalPages;
echo "<br />";
$totalpages = $resp->paginationOutput->totalPages;
Here is the post request
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#form').on('submit', function(info){
info.preventDefault();
$.post('<?php echo base_url();?>index.php/ebayapps/searchitem',
$('#form').serialize(),
function(data){
$('#resaults').html(data);
}
);
}); // keyup
});
</script>

If I understand correctly, you want to load more than one page of results. In this case, you will need to make numerous API requests, depending on the total number of pages you wanted to retrieve in the first place.
So say you want four pages - you need to run your function four times and increment paginationInput.pageNumber in each loop.
I hope this helps.
