Wrong?

[stickman373]

This code is printing the 3 results on the page, but not the $pagesvar which would be used for navigation of the pages. Why won't it show?

<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","stickman373","******");
mysql_select_db("stickman373_uk_db");

$totalquery = "SELECT COUNT (title) FROM movie ORDER BY title"; 
$totalresult = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query($totalquery)); 
$total = $totalresult[0];   // EDIT! 
mysql_free_result($totalresult); 

$perpage = 2; 
if (!$page || !is_numeric($page)) $page=1; 
$limit = ($page - 1) * $perpage; 

$numpages = ceil($total / $perpage); 
$prev = $page - 1; 
$next = $page + 1; 

if ($numpages > 1) { 
      $pagesvar = ""; 
      if ($page - 3 > 0) $pagesvar .= "<a href='?page=1'><u><<</u></a> &nbsp;&nbsp;"; 
      if ($prev > 0 && $prev <= $numpages) $pagesvar .= "<a href='?page=$prev'><u><</u></a> &nbsp;&nbsp;"; 

      for ($i=$page-2; $i < $page; $i++) { 
            if ($i > 0) $pagesvar .= "<a href='?page=$i'><u>$i</u></a> &nbsp;&nbsp;"; 
      } 

      $pagesvar .= "<a>$page</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;"; 

      for ($i=$page+1; $i <= $page+2; $i++) { 
            if ($i <= $numpages) $pagesvar .= "<a href='?page=$i'><u>$i</u></a> &nbsp;&nbsp;"; 
      } 

      if ($next <= $numpages && $next > 0) $pagesvar .= "<a href='?page=$next'><u>></u></a> &nbsp;&nbsp;"; 
      if ($page + 3 <= $numpages) $pagesvar .= "<a href='?page=$numpages'><u>>></u></a> "; 
} 

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","stickman373","redman");
mysql_select_db("stickman373_uk_db");

$query2 = "SELECT title FROM movie ORDER BY title DESC LIMIT $limit,$perpage"; 
$result2 = mysql_query($query2); 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) { 
     echo $row['title'];
echo $pagesvar; 
} 

mysql_free_result($result2); 
?>
