Yes, LIMIT will do the job, but to answer your question:

$x = 0;
while ( ( $myrow = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) ) and ( ++$x < 20 ) )
{
   [...]
}

> Dear PHP Helpers,

> What is your recommendation on limiting a while

> 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"]);
