Dynamic page generation

[Kidrandom]

Hey all,

 

I've made a page that reads a list of items from a database and I want it to automatically generate a new page when the amount of items pulled from the database reaches a certain number.

 

Exactly the way the extra pages in this forum are generated once a certain amount of topics are posted on one page.

 

I'm fairly new to PHP and MySQL so I'm finding it difficult to conceptualize how this will work.

 

So my question is, how do I go about doing this?

 

Here's the code I'm using to generate the items:

 

	while ($post = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
	echo "<div id=\"result_item\">";
	echo "<p class=\"result_blue\">";
	echo "<a href=\"desc.php?sel_post=" . urlencode($post["id"]) . "\">";
	echo $post["job"] . "</a></p>";
	echo "<p class=\"dark_grey\">";
	echo $post["employer"] . " | " . $post["location"] . " | £" . $post["salary"] . " per " . $post["salary_freq"];
	echo "</p></div>";

} 

 

Thanks!
