Question

I am telling my sql script to generate this:

       $result=mysql_query("SELECT comment_id FROM comments WHERE thread_id=38 LIMIT 2,7");

I dont know why it happens, but it returns to me 7 comments (posts/results) rather than 5.

is my statment is wrong? or is it because when I refresh the page more html is added in addition to the previous html ..?

Answer 1

Use this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT comment_id FROM comments WHERE thread_id=38 LIMIT 2,5");
// Maybe you want to use (0,5) instead!?

Examples

SELECT * FROM `your_table` LIMIT 0, 10 
// This will display the first 10 results from the database.

SELECT * FROM `your_table` LIMIT 5, 5
// This will show records 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10
