mysqli::$affected_rows

mysqli_affected_rows
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
mysqli::$affected_rows -- mysqli_affected_rows — Gets the number of affected rows in a previous
MySQL operation

Description ¶
Object oriented style
int $mysqli->affected_rows;
Procedural style
mysqli_affected_rows ( mysqli $link ) : int

Returns the number of rows affected by the last INSERT, UPDATE, REPLACE or DELETE query.
For SELECT statements mysqli_affected_rows() works like mysqli_num_rows().

Parameters ¶
link

Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect() or mysqli_init()

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

If the number of affected rows is greater than the maximum integer

value( PHP_INT_MAX ), the number of affected rows will be returned as a string.

Examples ¶
Example #1 $mysqli->affected_rows example
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();
}

/* Insert rows */
$mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE Language SELECT * from CountryLanguag
e");
printf("Affected rows (INSERT): %d\n", $mysqli->affected_rows);

$mysqli->query("ALTER TABLE Language ADD Status int default 0");

/* update rows */
$mysqli->query("UPDATE Language SET Status=1 WHERE Percentage > 50
");
printf("Affected rows (UPDATE): %d\n", $mysqli->affected_rows);

/* delete rows */
$mysqli->query("DELETE FROM Language WHERE Percentage < 50");
printf("Affected rows (DELETE): %d\n", $mysqli->affected_rows);

/* select all rows */

$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT CountryCode FROM Language");
printf("Affected rows (SELECT): %d\n", $mysqli->affected_rows);

$result->close();

/* Delete table Language */

$mysqli->query("DROP TABLE Language");

/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>

Procedural style
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "wor
ld");

if (!$link) {
printf("Can't connect to localhost. Error: %s\n", mysqli_conne
ct_error());
exit();
}
/* Insert rows */
mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE Language SELECT * from CountryLa
nguage");
printf("Affected rows (INSERT): %d\n", mysqli_affected_rows($link)
);

mysqli_query($link, "ALTER TABLE Language ADD Status int default 0

");

/* update rows */
mysqli_query($link, "UPDATE Language SET Status=1 WHERE Percentage
> 50");
printf("Affected rows (UPDATE): %d\n", mysqli_affected_rows($link)
);

/* delete rows */
mysqli_query($link, "DELETE FROM Language WHERE Percentage < 50");
printf("Affected rows (DELETE): %d\n", mysqli_affected_rows($link)
);

/* select all rows */

$result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT CountryCode FROM Language");
printf("Affected rows (SELECT): %d\n", mysqli_affected_rows($link)
);

mysqli_free_result($result);

/* Delete table Language */

mysqli_query($link, "DROP TABLE Language");

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

The above examples will output:

Affected rows (INSERT): 984
Affected rows (UPDATE): 168
Affected rows (DELETE): 815
Affected rows (SELECT): 169
