Nope, Sorry, but nowhere I was thinking about the boolean value. I was only talking about the return value of mysql_affected_rows(Mysql *)and it's return type is (unsigned int), which depends upon the no of rows affected by the last query. I have just ask you based upon a very rough table( flag_test).. So, there is no question of returning boolean value..I think you interpreted it wrongly. isn't it ??
By the way, thanks for your suggestion.
