Title: Autopagination with php? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Autopagination with php? * Resolved [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/) * Hello, I’m filling my wordpress-pages from a mysql-database. Now I tried to split the very long text-content with automatically with the following code: ————————————————— * ``` 0) { $counter=0; while ($Datensatz) { echo "
".$Datensatz['name'].$Datensatz['address']."
"; $Datensatz = mysql_fetch_array($Ergebnis); $counter++; if(($counter%10)==0) { echo ""; } else { echo ""; } } } ?> ``` * ————————————————— * But this didn’t work in wordpress. What about this plugin, could it solve my problem to make pagebreaks automatically in combination with php/mysql? Or is there another way to do this job? * Thank you for your answers 🙂 * Andreas * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-single-page-option/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-single-page-option/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 22 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786886) * Hi, Andreas: * Yes, the Page-Links Plus auto pagination module helps automate page breaks without splitting sentences or words or creating widows, orphans, or trailing headers. * The current version allows users to split by number of paragraphs, but we’ll soon be releasing a new version that allows users to split by paragraphs, number of words, and total number of pages (ie., “I want this post to = x number of total pages). * Thanks for your interest in PLP. * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786888) * PS, you can demo the plugin here, if you like: * [http://demo.pagelinksplus.com/wp-login.php](http://demo.pagelinksplus.com/wp-login.php) * Thread Starter [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786903) * Thank you for your answer. It’s difficult for me, to check this on the demo-account, because I need to use the database-connection. Nevertheless, I tried to make a long post manually, and it was automatically splitted, when I used

-tags. But not, if I use

-tags. Which tags are supported, can you tell me more about this? Thank you! * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786920) * Hi, Andreas: * I’m not entirely sure I understand your issue or your question, but if you install the PLP auto pagination module in a WP environment and structure your content according to best-practices HTML tagging, it will automatically paginate content for you. * Thread Starter [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786921) * Yes, but I want to split the text on special points. I have many, many
- Container and want to split the content BETWEEN the div’s. Is this possible? * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786922) * Hi, Andreas: * Probably the best thing to do would be to test a sample of your markup on the demo site. * Whether it works or doesn’t work, can you post a sample of it here? I’d like to see what you’re trying to accomplish and the structure of your copy/markup. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786926) * The php/database-connection-code see above. This will generate following text- boxes: * ```

text

text text text

text text text text text text text

text text text

``` * So I want to split between those div’s. * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786928) * Hi, Andreas: * PLP will split based on the paragraphs, not the
’s. As such, if you had the sort of code you outline above, PLP will insert a page break after _x_ number of paragraphs (_x_ being the variable you provide). * Please note that, to prevent splitting sentences or words or creating widows, orphans, or trailing headers, PLP won’t accept values lower than “3.” There’s no upper limit, though. * Again, the best way to test your particular code blocks would be to use the demo site. You can test different scenarios on pages, posts, and custom post types. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786934) * Thank you again. I would like to test on the demo account, but without database I can’t proof it 🙁 * It’s late, may be till tomorrow 😉 * Thread Starter [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786965) * Hello again! I made a page on your demo-account and connected then to mysql- database on my webhoster (Code works in wordpress). This is the code: * ``` 0) { while ($Datensatz) { echo "

".$Datensatz['column1']."
".$Datensatz['column2']."

"; $Datensatz = mysql_fetch_array($Ergebnis); } } else { echo "no matches"; } ?> ``` * Unfortunately the php-Code wasn’t parsed 🙁 Is this not allowed in demo-modus? * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786992) * Hi, Andreas: * Are you pasting PHP into the page/post editor? * If so, no, the demo won’t accommodate this, but neither will any WP instance without some customization. (The demo is intentionally built to be as “vanilla” as possible.) * If you were to build the above into a theme template, PLP would probably still auto paginate the content. However, I’ve no idea how the other features would work. PLP is essentially a glorified hook for the wp_link_pages function ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_link_pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_link_pages)), and I’ve only tested it narrowly outside the context of this function. * Is there a reason you’re injecting content using the above vs. using the WP loop? Just out of curiosity, what’s your thinking re: this approach? * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786993) * _Duplicate post._ * Thread Starter [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786994) * Hello, thanks for your answer. Yes, I pasted in the Editor in text-modus (is there another way for text-input?) I’m only unsure, if your plugin works with my code, because I tested a free plugin, which had similar features (auto-pagination), and this plugin didn’t work! So if your plugin works the same way, there will be no results too. That’s my problem. Your last sentence I didn’t understand unfortunately. My code is actually very normally for connecting to a database. Or what did you mean exactly (my english is very bad, sorry)? * Plugin Author [Studio Hyperset](https://wordpress.org/support/users/studiohyperset/) * (@studiohyperset) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786997) * Hi, Andreas: * This is a very specialized, unique instance, and I just don’t understand enough about what you’re trying to do to make sense of it. * My sense is PLP would auto paginate your content, but if your theme doesn’t include the wp_link_pages function, other features probably won’t work. * Best of luck going forward. * Thread Starter [Andreas 2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreas-2013/) * (@andreas-2013) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autopagination-with-php/#post-4786998) * The wp_link_pages function works, I checked it out with . Whatever, I think the only way to find it out, is to buy the plugin. What do I have to do, is there a download after payment available? How do I have to pay?
