Am I doing this right? I went to look at some old PHP code w/ MySQL and I've managed to get it to work, however I'm wondering if there's a much "cleaner" and "faster" way of accomplishing this. First I would need to get the total number of "documents" $total_documents = $collection->find(array("tags" => $tag, "seeking" => $this->session->userdata('gender'), "gender" => $this->session->userdata('seeking')))->count(); $skip = (int)($docs_per_page * ($page - 1)); $limit = $docs_per_page; $total_pages = ceil($total_documents / $limit); // Query to populate array so I can display with pagination $data['result'] = $collection->find(array("tags" => $tag, "seeking" => $this->session->userdata('gender'), "gender" => $this->session->userdata('seeking')))->limit($limit)->skip($skip)->sort(array("_id" => -1)); My question is, can I run the query in one shot? I'm basically running the same query twice, except the second time I'm passing the value to skip between records. -- New code ... Ok, unless someone knows of another way to do this (if it's possible), I'm going to say it's not doable. With that said, I changed the way I run my queries through mongodb, which yielded better looking code. ;-) I was trying to minimize the trips to the DB, but oh well hopefully this doesn't take a performance hit. My other attempt was to count the number of elements in the array, but quickly found out that wouldn't work since the $limit & $skip parameters would give ITS total number of docs. $skip = (int)($docs_per_page * ($page - 1)); $limit = $docs_per_page; $query = array("loc" => array('$near' => array('lat' => $latitude, 'lon' => $longitute) ), "tags" => $tag, "seeking" => $this->session->userdata('gender'), "gender" => $this->sessio
