[Pehape]

how to do it ?
my idea is to split the string. so say i have $art and it has strlen of 700 char, so i want to automaticly split it to a new variable each around 500 char,. so this will make 2 variabel $str1 (strlen +-500) and $str2 (strlen 200), and another prob is i have to make sure it stop on word, i afraid it cut the word, like 'strin' then 'g' is on variable 2.
or i have to count the words not the char?
how? what function.. i don't familiar with string function... thank you very much..

Search the board for 'pagination', 'split on word', 'split after word', etc. See if you can't find some relevant information - this type of topic has been covered many times in the past.

Then, if you still can't get it, you might want to give us more information... where is this 'string' coming from? A local file? Database? ...? Either way, if you know how to get the data, and you search for 'pagination' on the board, you should be able to put something together. If not, show us what you tried and we'll go from there.
