Does anyone know or have a script that splits the long text called from database into multiple pages ..... just like its done in the articles on many website for e.g. the splitting of article into pages done here http://www.sitepoint.com/article/css...-tips-tricks-4
.... I need the solution to this badly .... I was not able to find it over net. Anyone there to help.
Hold on.... if I am not mistaken then you are talking about pagination ... which is taking the rows from database and displaying in seperate pages... e.g. 10 rows in first page and next 10 on second page etc...
but what I want to do is this
In my database there is a field with the name body which has article in it .... the article is about 2000 words.
I want the text in article (the text is in html format) to be chopped and displayed in seperate pages ... for e.g. 500 words per page ... therefore the article will come in 4 pages.
And obviously I dont want the pages to be seperated in the middle of the word ... for e.g. there is a word
'Development' and it should not be such that Deve is on one page and lopment goes to other page ...
The above is what I want to achieve .... any help...
eeek... hmm... you can use substr to return a certain amount of characters. I'm sure there's some way to do words, I'm just not familiar with it. Try searching at php.net.
P.S. some pagination scripts work like you're requesting, they're just a bit harder to find...
or you could manyually put somethign like <newpage> in the text itself where you want the next page to start, then play with explode() to get different pages showing different parts of the text.
