Get total number of rows when using LIMIT

Question

Been following examples from here and many other sites but not getting the expected results

Snippet of my PHP code;

$query=\"SELECT * FROM book\";
$resul         


        

Answer 1

Your most recent query returned 4 rows ($query="SELECT * FROM book LIMIT 0,4";).

That's why it returns 4 and not 14.

To quote the documentation:

In the absence of the SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS option in the most recent successful SELECT statement, FOUND_ROWS() returns the number of rows in the result set returned by that statement. If the statement includes a LIMIT clause, FOUND_ROWS() returns the number of rows up to the limit.
