Edit: Gosh I should really sleep. I was looking at my article numbers, not my ACTUAL DB numbers; seems I had deleted some blogs or something but it kept marching forward, so there was a discrepancy between article numbers vs actual blogid. So, if a mod can delete this, I'd be fine with that (I guess I can't delete the thread). Thanks for any time anyone spent reading this.
I am for some reason not getting this, and maybe someone else can see what I'm doing wrong. I am trying to add pagination to my website, and everything is pretty good except the count of my blog entries is wrong; I have 143 and it says 124 total.
Here's what I mean:
[PHP]
$nav_sqlcount = "SELECT count(*) FROM blog";
$getcount = mysql_query($na v_sqlcount) or die('problem getting count: '.mysql_error() );
$total_results = mysql_result($g etcount, 0) or die('problem getting total results: '.mysql_error() );
echo $total_results;
[/PHP]
Now my understanding is that it first is getting the count of all (*) entries in the blog table, and then creating a readable result with mysql_result, beginning at row 0. So why is it coming up as 124 instead of 143 when I echo $total_results? Am I misunderstandin g what's happening here?
