splitting search results into pages

I just recently stumbled upon this script and decided to implement it into my site. However, it shows the first ten results on the first page (without &page=1 in the url) and when you click next, it skips 10 items and lists from 21-30 and from there on works perfectly.
I need the missing results to be displayed, but the items that are supposed to be shown aren't showing... if that makes any sense.

Code:
//db settings
$records_per_page = 10;
//connect to MySQL
mysql_connect ($mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_pass);
mysql_select_db ($mysql_db);
//find out how many records are in the table
$count_query = "SELECT count(*) from ".$mysql_table;
$rh = mysql_query($count_query);
list ($record_count) = mysql_fetch_array($rh);
//calculate the maximum "page" that can be displayed.
$max_pages = floor($record_count / $records_per_page);
//This logic takes care of reacting to input.
if (isset($_GET['page']))
{
if ($_GET['page'] > 1)
{
if ($_GET['page'] > $max_pages)
{
$current_page = $max_pages;
}
else
{
$current_page = $_GET['page'];
}
}
else
{
$limit_start = 0;
$current_page = 1;
}
$limit_start = $current_page * $records_per_page;
}
else
{
$limit_start = 0;
$current_page = 1;
}
//query the database for the required records
$data_query = "SELECT * FROM ".$mysql_table." ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT " . $limit_start . ", " . $records_per_page;
$rh = mysql_query ($data_query);
print '<html><body><table width="100%" border="1">';
//output the required records
while ($word_data = mysql_fetch_array($rh))
{
print '<tr>';
print '<td align="center" width="50%">' . $word_data['pkID'] . '</td>';
print '<td align="center" width="50%">' . $word_data['word'] . '</td>';
print '</tr>';
}
//this is the logic for the "previous" link display
print '<tr><td width="50%" align="center">';
if ($current_page > 1)
{
print '<a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . ($current_page - 1) . '">previous</a>';
}
else
{
print ' ';
}
print '</td>';
//this is the logic for the "next" link display
print '<td width="50%" align="center">';
if ($limit_start + $records_per_page < $record_count)
{
print '<a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . ($current_page + 1) . '">next</a>';
}
else
{
print ' ';
}
print '</td></tr></table><body></html>';-> LuckySyringe
