RE: why get the value not be calculated

Oke,



It worked but does the value of the calculation put into the param
number_pages ?



What I try to calculate is how many pages I need for displaying all the
articles when I have a fixed number of articles on a page.



So as example :



I have 4 articles.

And I want to have 3 articles on a page.

Then I need 4/3 = 1.3333 pages.

Then I have to make it the next whole number so it will be 2.
