hello!
exactly esterday i had the same problem ;)
& i did it like this, using wordwrap/explode functions:
.......
$CFG_max_page_length = 5000;
.......
if(@mysql_num_rows($rez) > 0)
{
$text = nl2br(mysql_result($rez,0,"text"));
$text_length = strlen($text);
if($text_length > $CFG_max_page_length)
{
$page_count = ceil($text_length/$CFG_max_page_length);
$text = wordwrap($text, $CFG_max_page_length, "__SPLIT__", 0);
$text_arr = explode("__SPLIT__",$text);
$p = (!isset($p) || !($p>0)) ? 1 : (int)$p;
for ($page=1; $page<=$page_count; $page++)
{
$pages .= ($page != $p) ? "<a href=$PHP_SELF?a=$a&b=$b&p=$page>$page</a> " :
"<b>$page</b> ";
}
$pages = "<p align=right><b>$STR_pages:</b> $pages</p>";
$text = $text_arr[$p-1];
}
................
echo "
$pages
<p>$text</p>
$pages";
