Load text file and display with pagination?

[Mike]

Here's what I want to do: I want to pull a text file from another website, save it to my server, then display that file on my site with pagination.

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I don't need you to code it, just tell me where to look. I've searched around google, but I guess I'm having problems figuring out "what" to search for to get the answers.

Thanks!

Hmm...there's probably several ways to do this. My advice to you would be use PHP's filesystem functions like fopen, and fwrite. You can see the documentation here:

PHP: Filesystem Functions - Manual

Some may prefer to use cURL. I think smaxor wrote an excellent tutorial on cURL.

As for pagination, there are tutorials all over. One of my favorite places to look for tutorials is:

Photoshop Tutorials, Flash Tutorials and More! P2L Tutorial Search

I have seen several pagination tutorials there. I hope this helps you out

Pagination as in:

Take X words (200, 500) from the textstring, make it a page.
Put a link to the next page, i+1
Take the next X words and make it the second page.
Put a link to i-1 and i+1
....

You should be able to do that.
