Get total number of results with pagination

Question

I'd like to get the total number of users on a page where all the users are listed. This page should be paginated.

So far, this is what I've come up with:

Controller

$users = User::paginate(10); return View::make('index', compact('users')); 

View:

{{{ count($users) }}} 

But this gives me only the count of the users for the current page. I'd like to count the full result set, if possible without querying another time the database.

Answer 1

In Laravel 4 use:

{{ $users->getTotal() }}

In Laravel 5 and above use:

{{ $users->total() }}

Controller

$products = ProductMaster::paginate(10); //1 page with 10 products  return view('index',compact('products')); 

view

 {{ $products->total() }}   //show total products in your database
