# mysqli_stmt_affected_rows

(PHP 5)

mysqli_stmt_affected_rows

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

mysqli_stmt->affected_rows -- Returns the total number of rows changed, deleted, or inserted by the last executed statement

## Description

Procedural style :

int mysqli_stmt_affected_rows ( mysqli_stmt stmt )

Object oriented style (property):

class mysqli_stmt {
int affected_rows
}

mysqli_stmt_affected_rows() returns the number of rows affected by INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE query. If the last query was invalid, this function will return -1.

The mysqli_stmt_affected_rows() function only works with queries which update a table. In order to return the number of rows from a SELECT query, use the mysqli_stmt_num_rows() function instead.

## Return Values

An integer greater than zero indicates the number of rows affected or retrieved. Zero indicates that no records where updated for an UPDATE/DELETE statement, no rows matched the WHERE clause in the query or that no query has yet been executed. -1 indicates that the query has returned an error.

> Note: If the number of affected rows is greater than maximal PHP int value, the number of affected rows will be returned as a string value.

## Examples

Example 1. Object oriented style
`<?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } /* create temp table */ $mysqli->query("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCountry LIKE Country"); $query = "INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country WHERE Code LIKE ?"; /* prepare statement */ if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) { /* Bind variable for placeholder */ $code = 'A%'; $stmt->bind_param("s", $code); /* execute statement */ $stmt->execute(); printf("rows inserted: %d\n", $stmt->affected_rows); /* close statement */ $stmt->close(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?>`

Example 2. Procedural style
`<?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } /* create temp table */ mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCountry LIKE Country"); $query = "INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country WHERE Code LIKE ?"; /* prepare statement */ if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) { /* Bind variable for placeholder */ $code = 'A%'; mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $code); /* execute statement */ mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); printf("rows inserted: %d\n", mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt)); /* close statement */ mysqli_stmt_close($stmt); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?>`

The above example will output:

    rows inserted: 17
