next and previous links?

hello there!

can anybody help me?

i want to put a previous and next links in my file named view.php to have an organize data.

there must be 3 records per page.

but i didnt use an array in posting and viewing the messages coz im not yet familiar with those things coz im just a beginner.

here is the code in view.php:

<?php

$filename = "view.txt";
$whattoread = @fopen($filename, "r");
$file_cnt = fread($whattoread, filesize($filename));

$msg = "$file_cnt";
fclose($whattoread);

<html>....
table here....
<?php echo "$msg" ?>
...
</html>
?>

how will i fix this problem?

but i didnt use an array in posting and viewing the messages coz im not yet familiar with those things coz im just a beginner.

Now's the time to learn🙂

You may want to look at [man]explode[/man]

$msg_array=explode("\n",$file_cnt)

will give you and array of mesages assuming there is a newline character at end of each message
