Single row/article pagination

[argrafic]

Hello to all, I'm new and glad to be here!

I consider myslef a middle level PHP programmer and I have the following question.

Is there a way to paginate a single article/row.

I have a data base of articles. One row has the title, the section it belongs and the whole article. That single article can sometimes be of almost 5 pages long and I don't want to to be that long in a single page. Is there a way to "break" the articule into pages?

Thanks a lot.

God bless and take care!!

You could do it by
=> Using strpos() to detect the position of a whitespace in your text near the position that you would like to split:

// set length of page
$pagesize = 250;
$offset = 0;
$spacepos = strpos($body," ",$pagesize)-1;

and then use substr to subset that data:

$body = substr($body, $offset, $spacepos); 

You can add a link to set $section, which you use to decide where to start you offset

$offset = ($section * $pagesize);

Or you could include tags in your content at positions where you would like split the text, and use those as delimiters
