Question

I can’t seem to get the desired result from this query:

  SELECT * 
    FROM `messages` 
   WHERE `msgType` = '0' 
     AND `status` = '0' 
ORDER BY `dateSent` DESC LIMIT 20, 0 

Basically, I’m trying to show 20 results per page, but this query returns nothing. (For the record, all instances in the database have msgType and status as 0)

EDIT: Removing the LIMIT part gives me the results but not divided and paginated like I want

EDIT v2 LIMIT should be followed by OFFSET, # OF RECORDS (I am dumb)

Answer 1

LIMIT 20, 0  

Means: start at row 21, return 0 rows, so your answer is correct.

Did you mean:

LIMIT 0, 20
