<?

ERROR_REPORTING(E_ALL);


$lines = file ('db/blog.dat');

$numperpage = 2; //2 news items per page
$linecounter = -0;
$pagecounter = 0;
$tempcounter = 0;

foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {

while($linecounter < $numperpage)
{

// explode into array
$lineinfo = explode("

Just looking quickly you need to reverse your foreach and while loops so that the foreach is inside the while. Doing this will cause you to have to rework your Go To: page number bit, but it will allow the loop to go through all the lines of your dat file. The way it's written right now, the while loop just continues to use the same line of data.

Also to reverse the order of the way the entries are displayed, use array_reverse().

$lines = array_reverse($lines); //Make them last to first - newest to oldest

If I didn't explain myself well enough, let me know and I'll try again.

Hope this helps.
