Monks, I'm grabbing latest headlines from a database and print them on 2 separate pages. I go through and grab the lastest 10, but then I want to grab the next 40 for page 2.

$filebase = "news";
$num_records = 10;
    $SQL = "SELECT * FROM $content_table WHERE contenttype = 'video' O
+RDER BY dateadded DESC, ID DESC";

for ($n=1; $n<=$num_records; $n++) {
print outfile1 " latest headlines";
}
 
$filebase = "morenews";   
$num_records = 40;


for ($n=1; $n<=$num_records; $n++) {
print outfile2 "latest headlines";
}

The print lines above are fake but you get the idea. The problem is the first page gets 10 headlines and the second page gets 40, but the 40 includes the first 10. I'd like to grab 10 headlines then the NEXT 40. Thanks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
