Is it possible to use LIMIT/OFFSET with prepared statements in PHP?

When using prepared statements in PHP, the LIMIT and OFFSET clauses cannot be directly bound as parameters in the prepared statement. Instead, you can dynamically build the SQL query string by concatenating the LIMIT and OFFSET values before preparing and executing the statement. 

// Example of using LIMIT/OFFSET with prepared statements in PHP

// Set the LIMIT and OFFSET values
$limit = 10;
$offset = 0;

// Build the SQL query string with LIMIT and OFFSET
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT $limit OFFSET $offset";

// Prepare and execute the statement
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();

// Fetch the results
$results = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

// Loop through the results
foreach ($results as $row) {
    // Process each row
}
