How to get the total number of pages in MPDF?

Question

I'm using PHP MPDF to create PDF files. At the footer I'm able to print the current page number using

{PAGENO}

But how do I get the total number of pages in the PDF file? So that in the footer I can print like:

Page (Current Page) of (Total number of pages)   
Page 1 of 6

$mpdf=new mPDF();
$mpdf->setFooter("Page {PAGENO} of {nb}");

Here is a working link to all [replaceable aliases](https://mpdf.github.io/what-else-can-i-do/replaceable-aliases.html). – AbcAeffchen Nov 06 '18 at 06:17

can we get total number of pages using {nb} in pdf body instead of header/footer? i need to display total pages count in pdf content. – ÛmÄîr MÄlîk Aug 22 '17 at 08:16
@ÛmÄîrMÄlîk You got anything for this mate? – Deepak Singh Jul 11 '18 at 07:40
@DeepakSingh looks like `{nb}` was replaced in the pdf bode before mPDF 6.0, but now it only works in header/footer. See [the documentation](https://mpdf.github.io/what-else-can-i-do/replaceable-aliases.html) for details. – AbcAeffchen Nov 06 '18 at 06:19
@ÛmÄîr-MÄlîk it works great in mpdf 7.x with simply {nb} in html page I use for header of page. – Meloman Mar 23 '22 at 14:34

I use the following in my html header template :

{PAGENO}/{nb}

For example,on 1st of total of 3 pages, the result will be :

1/3

So, you can write it wherever you want in your HTML code like header, footer, body...
