This Code works great for grabbing my article splitting it up and adding page numbers at the bottom. Now what I would like to do is. have page numbers on top. for example, on page 2, have it say page 2 of 2 (or how many pages total) on the top of the page... Here is the code, I have done endless research and am just stuck!

Code:

<html>
<body>


<?


$result = mysql_query("
SELECT * FROM $table 
ORDER BY article_id DESC 
LIMIT 1");

$articleRow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$articleText = $articleRow['article'];
?>

<?

if(isset($_GET['page'])) { 
    $pageNumber = $_GET['page']; 
} else { 
    $pageNumber = 1; 
    } 


$theString = $articleText;
// this is where you would put in your article, I used a string 

$charactersPerPage = 2000; 
// this is where you would put the characters you want on the page 

$totalPages = ceil(strlen($theString)/$charactersPerPage); 
// this gets how many pages you'll need (the ceil() function rounds up) 

$startNumber = ($pageNumber-1)*$charactersPerPage; 
// because PHP is a zero-based indexing language, we must subtract one (but that makes it easier I think...) 

$thisPageChars = substr($theString,$startNumber,$charactersPerPage)  ; 
// select the portion of the content you want to show using substring 
// the start number is the index of the string you'll start at, 
//     and we tell it to include as much as is allowed per page 
$endNumber = $startNumber+strlen($thisPageChars)-1; 

echo $thisPageChars; 

?> 
<br /><br /> 
<?php 
// The next part prints the page numbers, I know it looks weird because of a few beauty things I did... 
// however, the only important part is the $i==$pageNumber conditional section 
for($i=1;$i<=$totalPages;$i++) { 
     
    if($i==1) { 
        echo "| "; 
    } else { 
        echo " "; 
    } 
     
    if($i==$pageNumber) { 
        echo "<strong>" . $i . "</strong>"; 
    } else { 
        echo "<a href=\"?page=" . $i . "\">" . $i . "</a>"; 
    } 
     
    echo " |"; 
} 
?> 

</body>
</html>
