According to the docs, MySQL has a particular optimisation that means
that it should be:
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbvara WHERE Varunamn LIKE '$checkLev%'";
Also if you want the full count value when you've done a query that
uses a LIMIT clause, instead of doing a separate full count query,
you can get it by using the SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS keyword, e.g.
$sql = "SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM tbvara WHERE Varunamn LIKE
'$checkLev%' LIMIT 10";
Of course count(*) could only ever return up to 10 in this query -
you can find out how many it would have found by then asking:
$sql = "SELECT FOUND_ROWS()";
