Help with a Flat File

Anon

I'm dealing with a flat file that goes with a guestbook, my questions how would i go about coding the amount of entries per page? and keeping track of the entries? so for instance i specify i want only 10 entires per page in the guest — then it generates a link to the next entries. How would i start that out? any sample
codes to lend?

thanks mates.

hey j,

you could read the flat file in (see php.net/fopen for the supereasy lines of code to read a file in) and store in in an array, then work up some code to only display 10 of those array elements at a time, followed with a 'next' link. in the link, include a # which is the record to start the dispaly on... for example the 'next' link on the first page would be

and when the script runs again, if the $start variable is set, begin the display of ten records from that point. right?

hope that helps,

best
Eric
