pg_affected_rows

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

pg_affected_rowsReturns number of affected records (tuples)

Description

pg_affected_rows(PgSql\Result $result): int

pg_affected_rows() returns the number of tuples (instances/records/rows) affected by INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries.

Since PostgreSQL 9.0 and above, the server returns the number of SELECTed rows. Older PostgreSQL return 0 for SELECT.

Note:

This function used to be called pg_cmdtuples().

Parameters

result

An PgSql\Result instance, returned by pg_query(), pg_query_params() or pg_execute()(among others).

Return Values

The number of rows affected by the query. If no tuple is affected, it will return 0.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The result parameter expects an PgSql\Result instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 pg_affected_rows() example

<?php
$result
= pg_query($conn, "INSERT INTO authors VALUES ('Orwell', 2002, 'Animal Farm')");

$cmdtuples = pg_affected_rows($result);

echo
$cmdtuples . " tuples are affected.\n";
?>

The above example will output:

1 tuples are affected.
