How to use of limit clause in mysql with php script

We can retrieve limited rows from the mysql table using the LIMIT clause. I can be used in pagination where are forced to show only limited records like 10, 20, 30, 40 etc.

You can use syntax of LIMIT into PHP function mysql_query().This function is used to execute SQL command and mysql_fetch_assoc() can be used to fetch all the selected data. This function returns row as an associative array, this function is faster then the mysql_fetch_array() function.

Let’s see the Example for mysql LIMIT clause:

<?php
$hostname = 'localhost';
$username = 'root';
$pass = '';
$conn = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('temp_db') or die(mysql_error());

$sql = mysql_query(“SELECT id, name, age, salary FROM employee LIMIT 0, 2”);
?>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>        
<?php
while($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql))
{
?>  
<tr>
<td><?php echo $result[‘id’];?></td>
<td><?php echo $result[‘name’];?></td>
<td><?php echo $result[‘age’];?></td>
<td><?php echo $result[‘salary’];?></td>
</tr>


<?php
} 
?>
<table>

Output will be look like that:

Id	Name	Age	Salary
2	Rahul Choudhary	22	25000
9	Roshan	26	23000
4	Nitesh Kumar	29	20000
