I think you want something more like
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
$current_row = mysql_fetch_row($result);

Instead of this, you could do
extract($current_row);
echo "<a href = $path>$count</a><br>";

Or a slightly more elegant solution:
 include("db_connection_params.inc");  //all relevant database variables
 $sql="select path from table where pid =1";  //obvious
 $link_id = mysql_connect($host, $usr, $pass); //get connection handle
 $result = mysql_db_query($database, $sql, $link_id); 
/* put a die on the above or better use mysql_error */
 $i = 1; //initialise counter
 while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
   extract($row);
   echo "<a href=\"$path\">$i</a><br>";
   $i++;
  }
