Multiple Pages of Data from a Text File

(Page 1 of 4 )

This is basic, but was something I never had explained to me very well, nor could I find any decent tutorials on the subject so here we go. In this lesson, we'll learn how to generate multiple pages of data from a txt file.

This tutorial was revised November 16, 2006.

In the previous version of this tutorial I only covered how to paginate a flat file based application. In this updated version, I will discuss some improvements along with pagination for database content as well (specifically, MySQL). I will also cover how to retain any pre-existing query string variables that your application might be using without interfering with our pagination.

At the end of the tutorial you can modify the code to display the navigation links however you want, but the default example I show you will appear something as follows:

« : ‹ : 3 4 5 6 [7] 8 9 10 11 : › : »

Next: Dividing the Data >>
