First PHP Script, stuck before the first charachter

phpwannabie

Looking to create a PHP script that will take a large text file (100KB plus) and create a section of a web site with it in the form of a book (will be making a lot of these book sections). So if it was 10KB of the text file per page 100KB would make a 10 page book.

I've tinkered with PHP scripts (mostly optimising the templates to make them better search engine optimised), but have not built one from scratch and not used a script that does anything like this, so not got a clue what to do first.

Any help would be appreciated.

i assume your talking about dynamic site content?

if so just use [man]include[/man] to 'include' the txt file into your site..

I've used includes before, the biggest problem is breaking up the txt files into smaller database entries or keeping the text file as one entry and taking X number of charachters from it for each page, how do you do that?

Also it will need to not just take exactly X charachters, but stop on a line break or at least a full stop near charachter X.

Hope that makes more sense :-)
