I am searching for records in a table as follows:

SELECT Id, Name FROM my_table WHERE Name LIKE \'%prashant%\' LIMIT 0, 10;

Now, I am addin

This is for others with the same need (considering it's been 3 years from the time of this question).

I had a similar issue and I didn't want to create 2 queries. So what I did was to create an additional column for the total number and moved the LIMIT and OFFSET clauses at the end:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM (
    SELECT `id`, `name`
    FROM `my_table`
    WHERE `name` LIKE '%prashant%'
) res,
(SELECT /*CEIL(FOUND_ROWS()/10) AS 'pages',*/ FOUND_ROWS() AS 'total') tot
LIMIT 0, 10

So the result is something like

| id  |      name      | total |
+-----+----------------+-------+
|  1  | Jason Prashant |  124  |
|  2  | Bob Prashant   |  124  |
|  3  | Sam Prashant   |  124  |
|  4  | etc. prashant  |  124  |

and I think this solution has no disadvantage in timing because it fetches the result only once, and then uses the already calculated row count for the additional column.
