Paginating comment's system not working?

[Deva Vishnu]

Here is my code

<?php



/*
Place code to connect to your DB here.
*/
include('config.php');// include your code to connect to DB.
$tbl_name="cms_comments";//your table name
// How many adjacent pages should be shown on each side?
$adjacents = 6;
/* 
  First get total number of rows in data table. 
  If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here.
*/
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tbl_name";
$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];
 
/* Setup vars for query. */
$targetpage = "news.php";//your file name  (the name of this file)
$limit = 5;//how many items to show per page
$page = $_GET['page'];
if($page) 
$start = ($page - 1) * $limit;//first item to display on this page
else
$start = 0;//if no page var is given, set start to 0
/* Get data. */
$sql = "SELECT comment FROM $tbl_name LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
/* Setup page vars for display. */
if ($page == 0) $page = 1;//if no page var is given, default to 1.
$prev = $page - 1;//previous page is page - 1
$next = $page + 1;//next page is page + 1
$lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);//lastpage is = total pages / items per page, rounded up.
$lpm1 = $lastpage - 1;//last page minus 1
/* 
Now we apply our rules and draw the pagination object. 
We're actually saving the code to a variable in case we want to draw it more than once.
*/
$pagination = "";
if($lastpage > 1)
{
$pagination .= "<div class=\"pagination\">";
//previous button

                        <td width="400px" align="right">
                            </div></div></div></div>
                            <br/>
                            <div style="width:125%; height:1px; background-color:#ccc; margin-top:-17px;"></div>
                        </td>
                    </tr>';
        }
    echo '</table>';
}
?>
  
<?=$pagination?>

The problem now is that it won't paginate , any ideas anyone?
