How do I get 10 items per page from database?
I have a flat file database that I created
and I want to return results from a search
and only show 10 results per page. I am
getting confused with the NEXT BUTTON to
get to the next page of results.

Can anyone please give me some advice?

The database looks something like this:

name|age|photograph
name|age|photograph
name|age|photograph

thanks,

Anthony

To give you an idea about spanning results, check out the codes used in LINKS in the search.cgi script.

I'm fairly new to all this web and perl stuff but I had same questions about results. What is LINK and where do would one get it, and the search.cgi?

Thanks.
