Re: Trouble updating value of variable for a placeholder

Improper SQL there is tripping you up - pretty sure you don't want the ... LIMIT > ?, 10 in your code - you just want the placeholder so chg to  ... LIMIT > ?.

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.

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"
