Question

function limit($count,$offset = 0)
{

}

here limit(3); // will work for $offset would get its default value of 0

when we have specific offset value we can do limit(3,10);

but MYSQL limit syntax does opposite it take limit 3 // which is in align with limit(3)
but when want to use not default value for offset then we have to do in opposite order
limit 10 , 3;
where 10 is offset and 3

Answer 1

It is simply because the designers designed it to be that way. Sounds like a bad answer, but I don’t know how one could answer it better.
