Splitting Articles / Database Entries

[Officer]

Sometimes when I read websites they split their articles over multiple pages.

Now that I'm doing my own site I'd like to do this with my lengthier articles.

What I want to know is how people would approach this with respect to the PHP/mySQL side of presenting the information?

How would you decide how many pages to split the article into and how would you actually split it so that the user can click page 1, 2, 3, or n ?

with strlen you can determine the length, and with substr you can then subset the text according to your length-ideals.

Thanks.

Do you, or anyone else, know of any tutorials with respect to this? I'm not confident with PHP to just take those two keywords and create what I want.
