Peace,

 

isnt that with mysql ?? i need widout

 

do like this mak sort files and do simple pagination, rest is same just exclude the mysql part.

 

If the flat file's records are seperated on a per line basis

open the file
explode the data by "\r" (carriage return)
Count the newly created array from the explode

You now have how many records are in your file. Pagination is childs play once you know that.

 

I believe that the \r is only added on Windows machines. I think it's safer to use this method to get the number of records.

$records = sizeof(file('your-file.txt'));

PHP:

 

Wat if its not in a text file but there are many files in a folder in same format

 

The extension doesn't matter as long as each record is in a new line. As for the folder question, what do you want to do? Count all files in a folder?

$files = sizeof(glob('/path/to/files/*.txt'));

PHP:

You can play with glob(). What format do your files have?

 

i want them the count and do pagination for them like

if 100 files are there

i want 15 to appear per page

and then pages like 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc etc appear
