How can we set the items per page to a view, programatically?
The similar code we are using in drupal 5 is as follows:
$view = views_get_view('visual_articles');
print (views_build_view('embed', $view, array(0 => '1', 6 => 'video'), $view->use_pager, $view->nodes_per_block));
Can u please give me the corresponding code in druapal 6
Thanks in advance.

I had the same question.
I found useful info here:
http://pedroposada.com/blog/embed-views-2-nodes.html
<?php$view = views_get_view($viewname);
$view->set_arguments( array( $arg ) );
$view->set_display($displayId);
$view->set_items_per_page($number);
$view->execute();
$count = count( $view->result );
print $view->preview($display_id, $args);
?>
#2
$args = array();
$view = views_get_view('viewName');
$view->set_display('default');
$view->display_handler->set_option('items_per_page', 1);
print $view->preview('default', $args);
nothing but the above code here worked for me
replace viewName by your view name and voila!

if you want to do the same thing without embedding the view, you'll need to create a module (trust me, there's no other way)
then use hook_views_pre_execute()

Thanks so much, alienzed. After a few hours of frustration, stumbling into your solution in #2 worked perfectly.

And where does one put this snippet of code? In a block, in a node, in a view, in a template? Sorry, I'm not strong on the coding side, but I would really like my users to set the number of results per page in a view. Can someone give me the "Dummies" version?
