(PHP) Paginate Paragraphs - Show Certain Number Of Paragraphs Per Page

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:08:11 GMT

I wrote this really quick and dirty script to paginate a very large chunk of text. A client site was setup with the understanding their about page would consist of 5-6 paragraphs but their biography ended up being 60 paragraphs. At the end of the day instead of breaking segments out into separate pages as stored in the database I kept it intact (including the way they edit it in the CMS) but this simple function paginates it only showing a certain number of paragraphs at a time. Please email code -at- aristoworks.com if you need some clarification on how to use this.
