cgi limit display messages per page

[mazdajai]

Hi,

I am working on a cgi assignment where I need to break 10 messages, limit each page to display 3 messages and the reminder (1 in this case) on the last page.

I am having trouble using arithmetic operations to divide the pages.

Any suggestions?

Show us your arithmetic so we can see where you went wrong.

I think my problem is to specific the for-loop that limit the page displays into the last foreach loop. Sorry for the messy code, still a work in progress.

@data = &OpenFile("data.txt");
$total = @data;
print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Total $total Messages<hr>\n";
$maxRecords = 3;
$pageCount = $total / $maxRecords + .4 ;
$pageid = sprintf ("%.0f", $pageCount);
 
foreach $data (@data) {
    ($id, $name, $email, $message) = split /\t/, $data    
} 
 
for ($count = 1 ; $count <= $maxRecords; $count++) {
    print "ID: $id<br>\n";
    print "Name: $name<br>\n";
    print "E-mail: $email<br>\n";
    print "Message: $message<br>\n";
    $id++;    
} 
 
foreach $page (1..$pageid) {
    print "<a href=\"read1.cgi?id=$page\"><font color=\"blue\">Page $page</font></a>\n";
}
