Question about a problem related to DataTables Paging ...

Hey, I have a minor issue related to showing entries when paginating using DataTables. When I choose the 25 entries option, a call to the backend is made which successfully returns 25 items, however DataTables is still only showing 10 of them and also there's still only 1 page insteead of the expected 3 (note that I'm showing 10 items per page). What could be causing this problem? Thnaks in advance.

draw: 1 is very likely the issue. The draw parameter should be the same as what is sent to the server as part of the request (make sure you cast / parse it as an integer for security). See the manual here for details.

This example is working properly. Screenshots are very difficult to troubleshoot Is the screenshot with the JSON response after you changed the page length to 25? If so the problem is with the response as it has draw: 1. Since this is the second request to the server it should have draw: 2. It is basically a sequence number. See the Server Side Processing docs for more details.

If this doesn't help then please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug.
