need to test if sql query was successful

Question

I have this query and if it returns successful, I want another function to process, if not, do not process that function.

Here is the code for running the query

Answer 1

Check this:

<?php
if (mysqli_num_rows(mysqli_query($con, sqlselectquery)) > 0)
{
    echo "found";
}
else
{
    echo "not found";
}
?>

<!----comment ---for select query to know row matching the condition are fetched or not--->

Answer 2

if ($DB->rowCount() > 0)
   {/* Update worked because query affected X amount of rows. */}
else
    {$error = $DB->errorInfo();}

Answer 3

mysql_affected_rows

I understand that by saying "successful" you want to know if any rows have been updated. You can check it with this function.

If you use PDO -> http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.rowcount.php

Answer 4

mysqli_affected_rows returns number of items affected.

Answer 5

You can use this to check if there are any results ($result) from a query:

if (mysqli_num_rows($result) != 0)
 {
  //results found
 } else {
  // results not found
 }
