Problem reusing limits method...

[cgm225]

I have the following class, and I am having the following problem... If I use the findTotalPages() before the setPageLimits(), the new limits set by the setPageLimits() method are not set, but, rather, the limits stay at 0 and 10000 as set by the findTotalPages().

How can I re-set the limits anytime I want with the setPageLimits() or setLimits() methods?

Thanks in advance!

class Gallery {

public function setNumberDisplayed($numberDisplayed) {
    $this->numberDisplayed = $numberDisplayed;
}

public function setPageLimits() {
    $this->startingEntry = ($this->page - 1) * $this->numberDisplayed;
    $this->endingEntry   = $this->numberDisplayed;

    $this->setLimits($this->startingEntry, $this->endingEntry);
}

/* Sets limits for prepared statement. If limits are not manually set, then
 * extreme default values are used.
 */
public function setLimits($skip, $numberRows) {  
    $this->skip = $skip;
    $this->numberRows = $numberRows;        
}

public function findTotalPages() {

    //Sets exceedingly wide limits for query
    $this->setLimits(0, 10000);

    //Calculates and sets total number of pages
    $this->totalPages = ceil(count($this->findAlbums()) / $this->numberDisplayed);

    //Returns total number of pages
    return $this->totalPages;   
}

public function findAlbums() {      
    /* Queries database and creates a two dimensional array of all albums
     * and each album's associated data.
     */ 
    $query = 'SELECT id, full_title, short_title, dir, timestamp
                FROM albums ORDER BY timestamp DESC
                LIMIT ?, ?';
    $statement = $this->connection->prepare($query);
    $statement->bind_param('ii', $this->skip, $this->numberRows);
    $statement->bind_result($id, $fullTitle, $shortTitle, $dir, $timestamp);
    $statement->execute();
    while($statement->fetch()) {
        $this->albumData[$dir] = array(
            'id'         => $id,
            'fullTitle'  => $fullTitle,
            'shortTitle' => $shortTitle,
            'dir'        => $dir,
            'timestamp'  => $timestamp
        );
    }

    /* If a dirctory name has been provided via a GET variable, then only
     * the album corresponding to that directory name will be returned in the
     * array.
     */
    if(isset($this->dir)) {
        $this->findAlbum();
        return $this->albumData;
    } else {
        return $this->albumData;
    }
}

}
