Split File Data

[Dysan]

Hi,

 

How do I store a list of Firstnames & Surnames inside a .txt file, then using PHP,

limit the amount of data displayed per page to only 6 records.

 

Depending on the number of records stored in the .txt file, a NEXT and PREVIOUS link is enabled/disabled.

 

Extremely Appreciated!

May I recommend a database?

I'd read them into an array using file() then use array_slice() to the get the six I want to display depending on page number. You'll need extra code, but this is main bit

<?php 
$names = file('mynames.txt');                                           // read text into an array
$total_pages = ceil(count($names)/6);
$offset = ($page-1)*6;                                                  // get offset from page number
$page_names = array_slice($names, $offset, 6);                          // get array of the 6 names on this page
?>
