There's no limit clause in your SQL statement. You actually have to run two SQL statements. You have the choice of: 1. Run one statement returning all records like this "select count(*) from ..." without the limit clause. Use that to get the total records. Then run "select * from ... limit $page*$max, $total" to get the list to display. 2. Run one statement "select SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * from ... ... limit $page*$max, $total" to get the list to display. Then run "select FOUND_ROWS()" to get the number that would have been returned without the limit clause. MySQL documentation tends to point you to using #2. However, there are some articles where the two were compared and found that #1 seems to perform much better. See this... http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2007/08/28/to-sql_calc_found_rows-or-not-to-sql_calc_found_rows/ Hope that helps.
