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.
