Pagination

Can anyone help me with pagination of a txt file which looks something like this:some message <br/>some message <br/>some message <br/>some message <br/>some message <br/>some message <br/>some message <br/>The <br/> tag is the end of the message. Anyone?

pagination? what?

no idea

Atleast the guys at devshed know what it is. You know, in google, it divides the search results in multiple pages. I want it to do it with a txt file

Thats incorrect. It should be <BR> instead of </BR>. It seems like the person was trying to use another forum of HTML and trying to close the brackets

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

He said <br/> not </br> anyway

Even in regular HTML, <br/> is also correct. Many HTML tags that don't have a closing tag (like <img>) can also be used that way. Anyway, back on topic:I'm sorry, but I have no idea how I could help you...sorry!

I suppose you want to provide pagination using PHP. I created a guestbook with pagination for one of my pages. Basically i have all my entries in a MySQL database and using php code i achieve pagination. Maybe if you do not want to use a database, you can modify the algorithmus a little bit to work with text files.
Here is my code:

[/br]<?php[br]    $sql_db     = "Db_Name";[/br]    $sql_user   = "Db_User";[br]    $sql_pass   = "Db_Passwd";[/br]    $sql_table  = "Db_Table";[br]    [/br]    if(isset($pos)==0)[br]        $pos=0; // start position for the page indexer[/br]    $count=3; // number of displayed items per page[br]    [/br]    mysql_connect("localhost", $sql_user, $sql_pass);[br]    mysql_select_db($sql_db);[/br]    $result = mysql_query("select MAX(id) from ".$sql_table.";");[br]    $data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);[/br]    $size = $data['MAX(id)'];[br]    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$sql_table." where id>".$pos.";");[/br]    if($result)[br]    {[/br]        $i=0;[br]        while(($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) && ($i < $count))[/br]        {[br]            // Here you should add text[/br]            $i++;[br]        }[/br]    }[br]    mysql_close();[/br]    print "<div>Pages:";[br]    for($j=0; $j<$size; $j++)[/br]        if(!($j % $count))[br]            print "<a href=\"book.php?pos=".$j."\">".(($j/$count)+1)."</a>\n";[/br]    print "Total number of entries: ".$size."\n";[br]    if ($pos > 0)[/br]        print "<a href=\"book.php?pos=".($pos-$count)."\">Back</a>\n";[br]    if($size > $pos+$count)[/br]        print "<a href=\"book.php?pos=".($pos+$count)."\">Next</a>\n";[br]?>[/br]

Let me know if i can help you in oder way.
