We all know Laravel is one of the best PHP frameworks with its extended features. It has a simple pagination option that can be easily integrated. But in some scenarios, we need serial numbers for the rows on the paginated results. Here is your simple hack for this problem.

use this code on Views:

<table>
<tr>
<th>Serial No</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<?php
$pagination=25;
  if(!isset($_GET['page']) OR $_GET['page']==1){
   $i=1;
  }
  else{
   $i=(($_GET['page']*$pagination)-($pagination-1));
  }
?>
@foreach ($records as $record)
  <tr>
   <td>{{ $i}}</td>
   <td>{{ $record->name }} </td>
   <td>{{ $record->age }} </td>
  </tr>
<?php $i++; ?>
@endforeach
</table>
