Create Controller name of “Welcome.php” inside (application/controllers) folder

“Welcome.php” controller is already exist inside controller folder so you don’t have need to create it.

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*
* Author: Mukesh Jakhar
* Description: Pagination Controller class with name of "Welcome.php"
*/
class Welcome extends CI_Controller {
	function __construct() {
		parent::__construct();
		$this->load->model('Home_model');
		$this->load->library('pagination');
	}
	public function index()
	{ 
		$total_rows = $this->Home_model->total_rows();
		$config = array();
		$config["base_url"] = base_url(); 
		$config["total_rows"] = $total_rows;
		$config["per_page"] = 1;
		$config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;
		$config['num_links'] = $total_rows;
		$this->pagination->initialize($config);
		$data['pagi_links'] = $this->pagination->create_links();
		if($this->uri->segment(1)){
			$page = ($this->uri->segment(1)) ;
		}
		else{
			$page = 1;
		}
	
		$data['res'] = $this->Home_model->get_posts($config["per_page"], '1');
		$this->load->view('welcome_message', $data);
	}
	public function pagination($pagenum='')
	{
		$total_rows = $this->Home_model->total_rows();
		$config = array();
		$config["base_url"] = base_url(); 
		$config["total_rows"] = $total_rows;
		$config["per_page"] = 1;
		$config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;
		$config['num_links'] = $total_rows;
		$this->pagination->initialize($config);
		$data['pagi_links'] = $this->pagination->create_links();

		if($this->uri->segment(1)){
			$page = ($this->uri->segment(1)) ;
		}
		else{
			$page = 1;
		}

		$data['res'] = $this->Home_model->get_posts($config["per_page"], $page);
		$this->load->view('welcome_message', $data);
	}
}

		return $query->num_rows();
	}
	public function get_posts($perpage, $pagenum)
	{
		if($pagenum>1)
		{
			$limit = $perpage;
			$start = $perpage * ($pagenum-1);
		}
		else
		{
			$limit = $perpage;
