Use a loop with your desired limit range and then use this on the end of query. as (simple pagination)

$limit='';
$i=0; 
$q=mysql_query(...)
while($i<=mysql_num_rows($q))
{
$b=$i+5;
$limit='limit '.$i.', '.$b;
mysql_query(...$limit)
}

Similar / same question - MySQL skip first 10 results
Or to get all results after an offset - MySQL skip first 10 results

The LIMIT just needs to be from what ever items_per_page to the items_per_page * last_index

So something like:

SELECT * FROM sent_msgs_history LIMIT items_per_page, items_per_page * lastindex

So when getting 40 items per page:

page 1 would be LIMIT 40
page 2 would be LIMIT 40, 40
page 3 would be LIMIT 40, 80

What you mean unlimited pagination?

If you wish to know rows count, SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sent_msgs_history

OR

Don't use limit, when user selects "unlimited pagination"
