Question

I have a list of user comments stored in a database and I’m displaying 10 per page. On page load I need to dynamically render the appropriate amount of page numbers. At first I thought I would just get the total amount of comments and divide that by 10 to get the # of pages. That however doesn’t work correctly. For example:

1. 1-10
2. 11-21
3. 22-32
4. 33-43
5. 44-54
6. 55-65
7. 66-76

So basically with my original math if I have 70 results I will have 7 pages, but if I have 71 results I get 8 pages, which obviously isn’t correct. How can I fix this?

Here’s my original code:

<cfset commentsNumber = getComments.recordcount / 10>


          <cfloop from="1" to="#commentsNumber#" index="i" >
          <cfoutput>
          #i#
          </cfoutput>
          </cfloop>

Edit: I can’t do math today 🙁

…if I have 71 results I get 8 pages, which obviously isn’t correct.

10 results per page w/ 71 results is 8 pages. What’s wrong?
