get_page_of_comment()WP 2.7.0

Gets the pagination page of comments on the front-end where the specified comment should be displayed.

The function is used when generating a link to the current comment: get_comment_link(), if the discussion settings have the option "Break top-level comments into pages of 10" (pagination).

The function makes a request to the database, where it counts all parent comments of the current post and divides the result by the int of comments per page. This results in the current pagination page.

If the current comment is a child comment, the function will call itself until it reaches the parent comment, then the operation of counting the page number will be performed.
