Consider this :
I have got a folder which contains various .dat files
I want index or listing pages which enlists the files ( alpha-sorted)
but instead of a very long list ( when there are too many files ) which people has to scroll I want to break it up into pages like
< prev page | 1 | next page > or something like this

I have seen various paginate functions but am unable to integrate in the following script - so an exact code help will be very very much appreciated.

the folder name: myfiles
========================
contains files like abba.dat, babba.dat, cabba.dat etc etc etc

the indexing scipt : indi.php
=============================

PHP Code:

<?



function index() {

global $this_dir, $PHP_SELF;

$this_dir = opendir(myfiles);

$files = array();

while (false !== ($file = readdir($this_dir))) {

if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

$kobitaa = str_replace (".dat", "", "$file");

$kobitaa = str_replace ("_", " ", "$kobitaa");

$extension = array_pop(explode(".", $file));

if($extension == "dat") {

array_push($files, $kobitaa);

}

}

}

natcasesort($files);





$tpp = '12'; 

$offset = (isset($_GET['offset'])) ? $_GET['offset'] : '0'; 

$limit = $tpp + $offset;

 



$t = 0; // Setup for multi pages

foreach ($files as $kobitaa) { // Sorta like while(row = mysql_fetch_array())

$file = str_replace(" ", "_", $kobitaa);

$file = $file . ".dat";

$t++;



if ($t > $offset && $t <= $limit) {

echo "$kobitaa<br>\n";

}

}

echo "<br><font size=2>want to insert here link to multiple pages<font>\n";



}



switch($view) {

default:

index();

break;

}

  

?>

the paginate functions
=======================
which I have tried to take help [author m0bster :nextpage function]

http://www.evilwalrus.com/code_comments.php?codeEx=624

mobster suggests this : include the function and this code

$multi = NextPage($tpp, $offset, $t); // topics per page, the offset, and number of topics total

However I am awfully unable ... any help will be received with great gratitude
