my Gallery show Number of pages Code, improve?

[zapa]

hello, i am new to php
this is my code currently for showing Page number Links for gallery. (page 1, Page 2 page 3 etcc..)

Based on how many Files to show from database. shows 5 Images per page.

as you can see its not best codeing but it works. i did not put in any error checking in (yet). but just wanted get some idea if any one had comments on how i can improve it.

<?PHP
$num = db_con("SELECT COUNT(title) FROM gallery");
$num = mysql_fetch_array($num); // Number of files
print $num[0] . "images in gallery "; 

$pages = ($num[0] / 5); // 5 per page
$to_make = explode (".", $pages); // filter number of pages

// if no over 5 or comes out to 1.232 add 1 to total gallery pages to make
if (!empty($to_make[1])){
$final_no_make = ($to_make[0] + 1);
}
else {
$final_no_make = $to_make[0];
}

// $final_no_make; // This is final number of pages to show

// Number of pages to make show links for 
for ($i = 1; $i<= $final_no_make; $i++){
print '<A HREF="gallery.php?view='.$i.'"> Page '.$i.'</A>';
}


?>

Here is one way to improve it.

Change:

$pages = ($num[0] / 5); // 5 per page
$to_make = explode (".", $pages); // filter number of pages  

to

$pages = ceil($num[0] / 5); // 5 per page 

That will convert 2.3456 pages to 3

They sould work just like your computer is the server.

Check that your session save paths are correct inyour php.ini file.
