markinbrighton Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I am a relative newbie to php programming but have so far managed to build some quite complex sites, however this stumps me. I'm creating a website to display pieces of writing a writing group I have set up a MySQL database, with, amongst others, a large field that contains the actual piece of writing. The writing is stored as text in a medium blob. My problem is that some of the pieces of writing are quite large and need to be displayed over several pages. However, I don't know how to split a single field over several pages. Obviously the repeat region, which has the recordset paging, will not work but I was wondering if it would be altered and using some php functions to count the words or lines and a loop to create the pagination. Can anyone explain how to do this? Or are there any extensions or articles that might help? Many thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/2465-spliting-large-mysql/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
