Is there anyway to control the limit of entries from a database using jquery.

I have the PHP Data.php:

mysqli_query($con,"(select * from social order by id desc limit 30) order by id asc");

But I want to be able to edit the limit 30 and use $.get() to request the php again on calling a click function in jquery. Is this possible?

The $.get():

 $.get("Data.php", function (data3) {
     $(".data").html(data3);
 });

My code now looks like this:

Data.php:

$limit_amt = mysqli_real_escape_string($_GET['limit']);

$result = mysqli_query($con,"(select * from social order by id desc limit ".$limit_amt.") order by id asc");

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
  {
      echo "<tr class='border_bottom'>";
      echo "<th scope='col'>";
      echo "<div align='left'><span class='name'>".$row['name']."</span></div><br />";
      echo "<span class='text'>".$row['comunicate']."</span><br />";
      echo "<div align='right'><span class='time'>".$row['date']."</span></div>";
      echo "</th>";
      echo "</tr>";

  }

Index.php:

$.get("Data.php",{ limit: 40}, function (data3) { .
         $(".data").html(data3);

    });

In your $.get():

//#btn would represent an HTML element like <input type="button" id="btn">
$("#btn").click(function(e){
    // I have given a static value here but you can change it to a variable or 
    // however you want to pass
    $.get("Data.php",{ limit: 40}, function (data3) { .
         $(".data").html(data3);
    });
}

In your Data.php:

//Fetching the value and saving into a variable
$limit_amt = mysqli_real_escape_string($_GET['limit']);
//Using the fetched value to change the limit amount
mysqli_query($con,"(select * from social order by id desc limit ".$limit_amt.") order by id asc");

I think there is some mistake in the query that you have used

please try

$result = mysqli_query($con,"(select * from social order by id desc limit ".$limit_amt.")");

instead of

$result = mysqli_query($con,"(select * from social order by id desc limit ".$limit_amt.") order by id asc");
