mysqli_stmt::$affected_rows

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

Returns the total number of rows changed, deleted, or inserted by the last executed statement

int mysqli_stmt_affected_rows ( mysqli_stmt $stmt )

Object oriented style

int $mysqli_stmt->affected_rows;

Procedural style

Returns the number of rows affected by INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE query.

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

Parameters:

stmt

Procedural style only: A statement identifier returned by mysqli_stmt_init().

Returns:

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. NULL indicates an invalid argument was supplied to the function.

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:

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();
?>

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 examples will output:

rows inserted: 17
