Re: [PHP] testing a query for success--code doesnt work

[Sunfire]

yes that is what i needed.. how many rows were changed as well as how did
the query run in general... i want the:
if($query){
ok message
}
else{
fail message
}
but i also want a query test that goes something like this:
if(0 rows were updated){
message saying nothing happened
}else{
message saying the record was actually updated
}
if i can get some code example for that...it would help

tnx
