# mysqli_stmt::$affected_rows

# mysqli_stmt_affected_rows

(PHP 5)

mysqli_stmt::$affected_rows -- mysqli_stmt_affected_rows — Returns the total number of rows changed, deleted, or inserted by the last executed statement

### Description

Object oriented style

int $mysqli_stmt->affected_rows;

Procedural style

int mysqli_stmt_affected_rows ( mysqli_stmt `$stmt` )

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().

### 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. 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

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 examples will output:

    rows inserted: 17
