Help with varible in limit statement

[Anon]

I'm working on a Story script and all I want to do is display X amount of records.

My query is like this

$query = "SELECT name, story from $table ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT $varnum , 3";

Now using the varible breaks it.

Anyone know why?

Can't tell from what you've provided - does $varnum have the value it's supposed to?
echo $sql before you send it to the database - see what's actually being sent.
