I have my script almost near completion. There are two features that I would love to add, but haven't the slightest idea on where to begin.

One, the easiest, I am assuming, is a simple alaphabetazier. Even though I don't know how to spell, I want to be able to take @business.. catagagorize it by alaphabetizied name, and then display the results. If I could just find a function to sort by logical alaphabet or something, i'm sure i could find out how to do the rest.

next.. i have all my data stored in text files.. so I am not using a fancy SQL database server for anything. I would like to add, to my html pages.. an option that says "show next 10 results", and an option that says "show last 10 results".. maybe even go through the trouble of having page numbers, just something so that I can take my database and display it in small quantities.

thanks monks
