stored procedures - passing LIMIT as parameters to MySQL sproc

Question

I'm creating a paging class and need to pass in two parameters to my MySQL stored procedure for the LIMIT clause.

I'm passing them in as INTs and trying something like this

SELECT *
FROM
`MyTable`
LIMIT
MyFirstParamInt, MySecondParamInt

it gives me an error when I try and save the sproc though. Is there a way to do this that I'm just missing? Or am I going to have to EVAL the whole query and EXECUTE it?

I just found a solution which may be helpful. Use declared variables in your stored procedure and set them to your parameters

eg.

 CREATE PROCEDURE MyProcedure(
   IN paramFrom INT,
   IN paramTo INT
  )
   BEGIN
       DECLARE valFrom INT;
       DECLARE valTo   INT;

       SET valFrom = paramFrom;
       SET valTo = paramTo;

       SELECT * FROM myTable LIMIT valFrom, valTo;
    END
