Thanks for the help. But LIMIT ?,10 should work. The first value in LIMIT is the offset - which result to start returning from (starts at 0) And the second value is the amount of rows to return. If the placeholder value equaled 2 then the statement LIMIT 2,10 would yield results 3 - 13. I've put a static value in the LIMIT and it worked correctly. peppiv	[reply]

Clearly I was being dumb, sorry that I posted without checking. Lesson learned about how LIMIT should work now. There must be something wrong somewhere else as I was actually able to make the following work just fine on mysql with prepare and execute stmts. Try printing out your '$limit' string and/or doing a validate `if( $limit !~ /^\d+$/) { die("limit was '$limit' which is NaN"); }` `"SELECT * FROM tablea WHERE id > ? LIMIT ?,?" "SELECT * FROM tablea LIMIT ?,?" "SELECT * FROM tablea LIMIT ?,10" "SELECT id from tablea LIMIT ?,10" "SELECT * from tablea ORDER BY id LIMIT ?,10"` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
