Will need slight work on updating pages .... but something like that

**kei_ki7** · 17.11.09, 16:42

i got error in line

$num_pages = ceil($num/500);

Fatal error</b>: Unsupported operand types in <b>/home/kepyas/public_html/articles.php

im not familiar with ceil, btw while waiting a reply im trying to make this work, thanks for this something else

**something else** · 17.11.09, 20:11

ceil() rounds upwards. eg: if something was 4.2 then ceil would change it to 5.

might be cos needs extra brackets $num_pages = ceil(($num/500)); for the devision
or otherwize im guessing ceil isnt on all php versions could try:
$num_pages = round(($num/500+1)); ..... sorry brains not working at moment due to lack of sleep

**kei_ki7** · 17.11.09, 21:06

LoL no problem about that, atleast you try to help

**Mysterio** · 20.11.09, 12:02

ceil()is used for forums, for example.
Echo "Page $page of ceil($totalpage)";
