i found a pretty nice way, this db class/function will accept an array of arrays of querys, it will auto check every line for affected rows in db, if one is 0 it will rollback and return false, else it will commit and return true, the call to the function is simple and is easy to read etc
----------
<?php
class MySQLDB
{
private $connection; // The MySQL database connection
/* Class constructor */
function MySQLDB(){
/* Make connection to database */
$this->connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $this->connection) or die(mysql_error());
}
/* Transactions functions */
function begin(){
$null = mysql_query("START TRANSACTION", $this->connection);
return mysql_query("BEGIN", $this->connection);
}
function commit(){
return mysql_query("COMMIT", $this->connection);
}
function rollback(){
return mysql_query("ROLLBACK", $this->connection);
}
function transaction($q_array){
$retval = 1;
$this->begin();
foreach($q_array as $qa){
$result = mysql_query($qa['query'], $this->connection);
if(mysql_affected_rows() == 0){ $retval = 0; }
}
if($retval == 0){
$this->rollback();
return false;
}else{
$this->commit();
return true;
}
}
};
/* Create database connection object */
$database = new MySQLDB;
// then from anywhere else simply put the transaction queries in an array or arrays like this:
function function(){
global $database;
$q = array (
array("query" => "UPDATE table WHERE something = 'something'"),
array("query" => "UPDATE table WHERE something_else = 'something_else'"),
array("query" => "DELETE FROM table WHERE something_else2 = 'something_else2'"),
);
$database->transaction($q);
}
?>
mysql_affected_rows
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_affected_rows — Obtém o número de linhas atingidas na operação anterior do MySQL
Descrição
$link_identifier
] )
Obtém o número de linhas atingidas pela consulta INSERT, UPDATE, REPLACE
ou DELETE mais recente associada ao link_identifier.
Parâmetros
-
link_identifier -
The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNINGlevel error is generated.
Valor Retornado
Retona o número de linas atingidas em caso de sucesso, e -1 se a ultima consulta falhou.
Se a ultima consulta foi um consulta DELETE sem a claúsula WHERE, todos os registros terão sido excluídos da tabela mas esta função irá retornar zero com versões do MySQL anteriores a 4.1.2.
Ao usar UPDATE, o MySQL não irá atualizar colunas aonde o novo valor é o mesmo que o valor anterior. Isto cria a possibilidade de que mysql_affected_rows() possa não ser igual ao número de linhas encontradas, apenas o número de linhas que literalmente foram afetadas pela consulta.
O comando REPLACE primeiro exclui o registro com a mesma chave primaria e então insere o novo registro. Esta função retorna o número de registros excluídos mais o número de registros inseridos.
Exemplos
Exemplo #1 Exemplo mysql_affected_rows()
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Não foi possível conectar: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db('mydb');
/* isto deve retornar o número correto de registros excluídos */
mysql_query('DELETE FROM mytable WHERE id < 10');
printf("Registros excluídos: %d\n", mysql_affected_rows());
/* com uma clausula where que jamais é verdadeira, deve retornar 0 */
mysql_query('DELETE FROM mytable WHERE 0');
printf("Registros Excluídos: %d\n", mysql_affected_rows());
?>
O exemplo acima irá imprimir algo similar à:
Records deleted: 10 Records deleted: 0
Exemplo #2 Exemplo de mysql_affected_rows() usando transações
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Não foi possível conectar: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db('mydb');
/* Atualiza os registros */
mysql_query("UPDATE mytable SET used=1 WHERE id < 10");
printf ("Registros atualizados: %d\n", mysql_affected_rows());
mysql_query("COMMIT");
?>
O exemplo acima irá imprimir algo similar à:
Updated Records: 10
Notas
Nota: Transações
Se você estiver usando transações, você deve utilizar mysql_affected_rows() depois da sua consulta INSERT, UPDATE, ou DELETE, não depois de COMMIT.
Nota: Comandos SELECT
Para obter o número de linhas retornados por um SELECT, é possível usar mysql_num_rows().

- mysql_num_rows() - Obtém o número de linhas em um resultado
- mysql_info() - Obtém informação sobre a consulta mais recente
If you use "INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" syntax, mysql_affected_rows() will return you 2 if the UPDATE was made (just as it does with the "REPLACE INTO" syntax) and 1 if the INSERT was.
So if you use one SQL request to insert several rows at a time, and some are inserted, some are just updated, you won't get the real count.
Here's a little function I've been using for a while now, pass it two parameters (action command (1 or 0 see notes)) and a sql statement.
It returns a simple line which shows the length of time taken to action the query, the status of the query (0= query not actioned, you can set this value for testing, 1=success qry executed successfully, -1= failed, there was a problem with the sql statement) the number of lines affected by that query and the sql statement itself.
I've found this invaluable when trying to tie down large amounts of updates to a table, using this you can easily see where a query was successfully executed and the number of rows are affected, or where there are problems and a statement has failed for example.
<?php
function dosql($action,$sql){
# assuming you have setup a link to your database entitled $link
# action = 1 run this query
# action = 0 don't run, just return sql statement
$start = getmtime();
if($action==1){
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$affectedrows = "[".mysql_affected_rows($link)."]";
}
return "[".number_format((getmtime()-$start),3)."][$action]: $sql\n";
mysql_free_result($result);
}
?>
Example output:
[0.072][1][80]: UPDATE MYTABLE SET FIELD = 1;
[0.106][1][758]: UPDATE ANOTHERTABLE SET FIELD = 2;
[0.006][-1][0]: UPDATER ANOTHERTABLE SET FIELD = 2;
The output shows:
[Timetaken][result]][lines affected]
The result will be either -1, 0 or 1, -1 means there's a problem with the sql statement, 1 means it executed correctly, 0 means it wasn't executed.
There are no rows affected by an update with identical data.
So here is one very ugly solution for these cases:
<?
function mysql_matched_rows() {
$_kaBoom=explode(' ',mysql_info());
return $_kaBoom[2];
}
?>
I dont know why but sometimes mysql_affected_rows does not work (return 0 or nothing) besides the query worked well.
So use this if you have a problem:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("update/delete ...");
$last = mysql_query("SELECT ROW_COUNT();");
$last = mysql_fetch_array($last);
?>
Just a note: [you should] check for a mysql_affected_rows() return value of -1. If a series of queries were run as a transaction and one query failed, the logic in the foreach loop of the transaction() method in class MySQLDB will not issue a ROLLBACK. It may also be slightly more efficient to stop processing queries on the first failure.
I see that when try to use mysql_affected_rows() with "mysql_pconnect(...)" without link indetifier as param in "mysql_affected_rows()" the result is allways -1.
When use link identifier "mysql_affected_rows($this_sql_connection)" - everything is Fine. This is is on PHP Version 5.2.0
Hope that this was helpfull for somebody
Just to clarify about the possible return values in this Manual those not familiar with PHP and MySQL.
"-1 indicates that the query returned an error."
-1 will be returned if the query itself can not be issued to the server, possibly because of syntax error AND if the last query was not either an Insert or Update statement.
To solve the affectedRows() issue on MySQL using PEAR::DB, simply add a 'client_flags' key with a value of 2 to your $dsn options:
<?php
$dsn = array(
'phptype' => 'mysql',
'client_flags' => 2,
'username' => 'someuser',
'password' => 'apasswd',
'hostspec' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'thedb',
);
?>
SCENARIO
1. You're using MySQL 4.1x with foreign keys.
2. You have table t2 linked to table t1 by a CASCADE ON DELETE foreign key.
3. t2 has a UNIQUE key so that duplicate records are unacceptable.
3. You have a REPLACE query on t1 followed by an INSERT query on t2 and expect the second query to fail if there's an attempted insert of a duplicate record.
PROBLEM
You notice that the second query is not failing as you had expected even though the record being inserted is an exact duplicate of a record previously inserted.
CAUSE
When the first query (the REPLACE query) deletes a record from t1 in the first stage of the REPLACE operation, it cascades the delete to the record that would be duplicated in t2. The second query then does not fail because the "duplicate" record is no longer a duplicate, as the original one has just been deleted.
Using OPTIMIZE TABLE will also return true.
So, if you want to check the numbers of deleted records, use mysql_affected_rows() before OPTIMIZE TABLE
It works also for REPLACE query,returning:
0 if the record it's already updated (0 record modified),
1 if the record it's new (1 record inserted),
2 if the record it's updated (2 operations: 1 deletion+ 1 insertion)
mysql_affected_rows() reports on the number of rows affected by an in-place operation on the database, but mysql_num_rows() returns the number of rows in a MySQL record set (which is held by PHP after MySQL has generated it). This means that if you can do
<?php
$a = mysql_query("SELECT ...");
$b = mysql_query("SELECT ...");
if (mysql_unm_rows($a) > mysql_num_rows($b)) print "a is larger";
else print "b is larger";
?>
... but this does not make sense for the operations supported by mysql_affected_rows(), which reports on the status of the database connection as a whole.
Particularly note this:
<?php
$query = "UPDATE ...";
mysql_query($query);
print mysql_affected_rows(); // more than 0
mysql_query($query); // same query twice
print mysql_affected_rows(); // 0.
?>
.. this is because the 2nd time you execute the identical query, all the rows are already updated so no rows are affected the 2nd time.
I hope this clears up why mysql_num_rows() and mysql_affected_rows() are fundamentally different
mysql_affected_rows() also reports the number of rows changed by the LOAD DATA command. If you use the IGNORE option in LOAD DATA and you know the number of rows in the input file, you can use mysql_affected_rows() to determine the number of rows that were ignored.
mysql_affected_rows() DOES NOT count rows affected implicitly through 'ON DELETE CASCADE' and/or 'ON UPDATE CASCADE' foreign keys.
For example:
CREATE TABLE `types` (
`type` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`type`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE `symbols` (
`symbol` char(1) NOT NULL,
`type` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`symbol`),
KEY `FK_symbol_type` (`type`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE `symbols`
ADD CONSTRAINT `FK_symbol_type` FOREIGN KEY (`type`) REFERENCES `types` (`type`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;
INSERT INTO `types` VALUES ('Number'), ('Letter');
INSERT INTO `symbols` VALUES ('1', 'Number'), ('2', 'Number'), ('A', 'Letter'), ('B', 'Letter');
<?php
mysql_query('UPDATE types SET type = "Digit" WHERE type = "Number"');
echo mysql_affected_rows() . '<br>';
mysql_query('DELETE FROM types WHERE type = "Letter"');
echo mysql_affected_rows() . '<br>';
?>
Each query actually affects 3 rows (= 1 type + 2 symbols), but output is:
1
1
