The second limit parameter is the actual number of rows to limit to, and in most situations this is usually the same number (i.e. 0,15; 15,15; 30,15; etc). It is too bad this clause is not supported by some of the other databases I have had to use, it makes a convenient way of paging where the second paging parameter specifies the page size in terms of rows to retrieve (first parameter is the starting row number starting with zero).

I've even tried it within phpmyadmin and its giving me 17 rows....what am I missing here?
