If you want to get total number of rows in the table (without WHERE and without LIMIT)
you should execute
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name;
If you want to obtain number of rows the statement would have returned without the
LIMIT clause, you can specify SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS keyword in the SELECT statement and
then use FOUND_ROWS() function:
