Your might want to consider limiting the records selected.  For example
"select emp_name from employees limit 0,20".

Alternatively consider using a a "for" statement.

Subject: [PHP-DB] How to limit a WHILE statement?


Dear PHP Helpers,

What is your recommendation on limiting a while
statement so that it only iterates a maximum of 20
times?

Here is the code snippet:

$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

        printf("Name: <b><font color=\"green\" size=\"5s\">%s
%s %s %s\n<br></b></font>", $myrow["salutation"],
$myrow["first_name"], $myrow["mid_name"],
$myrow["user_name"]);

Best regards,

Bob Stone
