SELECT posts, its last 3 comments and count of all comments

SELECT posts, its last 3 comments and count of all comments My code:

SELECT p.*, u.id, u.username username, u.usersurname usersurname, u.usermainphoto userphoto, GROUP_CONCAT(c.text SEPARATOR 'a!k@h#md%o^v&') commenttext,GROUP_CONCAT(c.likes SEPARATOR '-') commentlikes,GROUP_CONCAT(c.dislikes SEPARATOR '-') commentdislikes, GROUP_CONCAT(c.commentdate) commentdate, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.username) commentauthorname, GROUP_CONCAT(c.anonim) commentanonym, GROUP_CONCAT(c.id) commentid, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.id) commentauthorid, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.usersurname) commentauthorsurname, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.usermainphoto) commentauthorphoto, GROUP_CONCAT(c.commentphotoid) commentphotoid
FROM posts p
LEFT JOIN comments c ON c.post = p.postid AND c.commentdel=0
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = p.postauthorid
LEFT JOIN users u2 ON u2.id = c.author
WHERE p.postwallid = :id AND p.postdel=0
GROUP BY postid
ORDER BY postid DESC

it gives me all comments, but I need only 3

You need a timestamp or counter of something to determine which comments are the three you want. Add that column name between the angle brackets below.

SELECT p.*, u.id, u.username username, u.usersurname usersurname, u.usermainphoto userphoto, GROUP_CONCAT(c.text SEPARATOR 'a!k@h#md%o^v&') commenttext,GROUP_CONCAT(c.likes SEPARATOR '-') commentlikes,GROUP_CONCAT(c.dislikes SEPARATOR '-') commentdislikes, GROUP_CONCAT(c.commentdate) commentdate, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.username) commentauthorname, GROUP_CONCAT(c.anonim) commentanonym, GROUP_CONCAT(c.id) commentid, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.id) commentauthorid, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.usersurname) commentauthorsurname, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.usermainphoto) commentauthorphoto, GROUP_CONCAT(c.commentphotoid) commentphotoid
FROM posts p
LEFT JOIN comments c ON c.post = p.postid AND c.commentdel = 0
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = p.postauthorid
LEFT JOIN users u2 ON u2.id = c.author
WHERE p.postwallid = :id AND p.postdel = 0
    and (
        select count(*) from comments as c2
        where c2.postid = p.postid and c2.commentdel = 0
        and c2.<timestamp> <= c.timestamp
    ) < 3
GROUP BY postid
ORDER BY postid DESC

Edit: I didn't add the count of all comments. I think you can easily add it with another subquery in the select list but I know MySQL people don't like subqueries very much.

(
select count(*) from comments as c2
where c2.postid = c.postid and c2.commentdel = 0
) as comment_count

I add in SELECT count(postid) as all_comments and at the end LIMIT 0, 3

SELECT count(postid) as all_comments, p.*, u.id, u.username username, u.usersurname usersurname, u.usermainphoto userphoto, GROUP_CONCAT(c.text SEPARATOR 'a!k@h#md%o^v&') commenttext,GROUP_CONCAT(c.likes SEPARATOR '-') commentlikes,GROUP_CONCAT(c.dislikes SEPARATOR '-') commentdislikes, GROUP_CONCAT(c.commentdate) commentdate, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.username) commentauthorname, GROUP_CONCAT(c.anonim) commentanonym, GROUP_CONCAT(c.id) commentid, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.id) commentauthorid, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.usersurname) commentauthorsurname, GROUP_CONCAT(u2.usermainphoto) commentauthorphoto, GROUP_CONCAT(c.commentphotoid) commentphotoid
FROM posts p
LEFT JOIN comments c ON c.post = p.postid AND c.commentdel=0
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = p.postauthorid
LEFT JOIN users u2 ON u2.id = c.author
WHERE p.postwallid = :id AND p.postdel=0
GROUP BY postid
ORDER BY postid DESC
LIMIT 0, 3
