LIMIT with mysql_num_rows

[Keith Spiller]

Hello,

I want to know if there is some way to return the number of rows in a query,
the complete query,
while using a LIMIT $start, $end command.

Unfortunately, so far, using
  $result = mysql_query("$SELECT");
  $qct = mysql_num_rows($result);

Results in $qct being equal to $end, which I already knew.
Is it possible to get this figure without doing a separate query?


Thanks for any help...
