Dealing With Php ceil

Folks,

I need your input here:

[code]
//$total_pages = ceil($result_1/$limit); //SHOULD I KEEP THIS LINE OR THE ONE BELOW THIS ONE ?
$total_pages = ceil($row_count/$limit); //SHOULD I KEEP THIS LINE OR THE ONE ABOVE THIS ONE ?
[/code]

Context:

[code]
$query_1 = “SELECT COUNT(id) FROM links WHERE keywords = ?”;
$stmt_1 = mysqli_stmt_init($conn);
if(mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt_1,$query_1))
{
echo __LINE__; echo “<br>”;

mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt_1,’s’,$_GET[‘keywords’]);
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt_1);
$result_1 = mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt_1,$row_count);

mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt_1);
}
else
{
echo __LINE__; echo “<br>”; //THIS LINE GETS ECHOED AS prepare_statement() FAILED. WHY IT FAILED ?

printf(“Error: %s.n”, mysqli_stmt_error($stmt_1));
printf(“Error: %d.n”, mysqli_stmt_errno($stmt_1));
die(“A. Prepare failed!”);
}

mysqli_stmt_close($stmt_1);

//$total_pages = ceil($result_1/$limit); //SHOULD I KEEP THIS LINE OR THE ONE BELOW THIS ONE ?
$total_pages = ceil($row_count/$limit); //SHOULD I KEEP THIS LINE OR THE ONE ABOVE THIS ONE ?
[/code]
