Multiple Pages in PHP

[xerox02]

What I am trying to do is this: Based on the number of mysql rows in my table I want to create a duplicate php page with same code as another page.

Why? When you use PHP, you can create different views for the user all from one script.

Basically, people are going to be posting on to mysql database, but I want to display all the information they are posting to me site, but one entire page can't fit all the information, so I want to make to automatically make another page when it exceeds the limit 4 (so 4 rows of data from mysql per page.) So I want the code to copy the code of the other page, and just make a new php file, or something that will make it so I can have a new page to have room for the mysql rows.

Yes, you can use it on your own site.  Only stipulation is that in no way can you ever hold myself or anybody else at phpfreaks responsible for any mishaps, damage, etc.. resulting from the use of it. 

 

Just keep in mind that with tutorials, there are oftentimes better ways to actually implement the principle.  Tutorials are meant to strip things down to the basics, often disregarding things like security, scope, elegance, etc... because the point is to teach you the principle in general.  There is minimal validation included in that code but a lot more can/should be considered, depending on what else you've got setup.  Also, many people like to abstract that stuff into a class to make the page code cleaner.  Etc....

 

Point is, although it technically works "out-of-the-box", it's a tutorial with sandboxed code to help you learn something - a starting point.
