Pagination

[Schlo_50]

Hi there,

 

I think what I want is called pagination? Basically, I have a very long list which I would like to break down into page numbers for faster loading and better searching. The code I have already to generate the list is below however I need some help, advice or snippets of how to implement what I need into the existing code.

 

$lines = file("data/sub_categories.DAT");
foreach ($lines as $line) { 
$data = explode("|", $line);
$lookup[] = trim($data[2]);
}

$linesb = file("data/threads.DAT");
foreach ($linesb as $lineb) { 
$datab = explode("|", $lineb);

	  $name = trim($datab[0]);
	  $pid = trim($datab[1]);
	  $category = trim($datab[2]);
	  $reference = trim($datab[3]);

$name = trim($datab[0]);
$find = trim($datab[2]);

if (in_array($find, $lookup))
{

  print "Match : Find";

}

}

 

Can any body shed some light on this much need module?

Thanks in advance!

<?php
$a = range('a', 'z'); // create list of data use your array here
$per_page = 5;
$a = array_chunk($a, $per_page);
$total_pages = count($a);
if (isset($_GET['page'])) $curent_page = $_GET['page'] + 0; else $curent_page = 1;
if ($curent_page < 0) $curent_page = 0;
if ($curent_page > $total_pages) $curent_page = $total_pages;
$curent_data = $a[$curent_page - 1];
// echo data
foreach ($curent_data as $data){
echo $data, "<br />\n";
}
// page links
if ($curent_page > 1) echo "<a href='?page=",$curent_page-1,"'> PREV </a>\n";
for ($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){
if ($i == $curent_page) echo " $i \n";
else echo "<a href='?page=$i' > $i </a>\n";
}
if ($curent_page < $total_pages) echo "<a href='?page=",$curent_page+1,"'> NEXT </a>\n";

That seems to work well, having problems implementing it into my original code though!

 

Thanks!

what array you want to paginate

[Schlo_50]

I'd like to paginate $find.

 

if (in_array($find, $lookup))
{

  print "Match : $find";

}
