Problem understanding tutorial

I enjoy learning from the exellant tutorials at codewalkers.com and I am working through the Database section. However I am having a problem understanding 'Previous and Next links'(http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/4/5.html). I cannont understand what to put on line twelve.

I have changed line 3 to the following:

php Code:

Original - php Code
<?PHP $query = "SELECT * FROM information LIMIT " . $start . ", 5";

 
<?PHP
$query = "SELECT * FROM information LIMIT " . $start . ", 5";

But I cannot work out what to change this line(12) to:

php Code:

Original - php Code
$query = "SELECT count(*) as count FROM table";

 
$query = "SELECT count(*) as count FROM table";

I thought I had to change it to this:

php Code:

Original - php Code
$query = "SELECT * as 5 FROM information";

 
$query = "SELECT * as 5 FROM information";

but this did not work. Please could you explain what I am doing wrong.
