ID: 41325 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: php-qa at sebastianmendel dot de Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows / Linux PHP Version: 5.2.2 New Comment:
If the mysqli version of this indeed differs from its mysql brethren, then the mysqli documentation should be updated. Whether we mention this difference somewhere, not sure where, but at some point we'll want a "How to upgrade mysql to mysqli" document. The user notes should never be used or thought of as a replacement for documentation. Any doc worthy information from them should be folded into the manual.

For SELECT statements, mysql_affected_rows() works like mysql_num_rows()." http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-affected-rows.html and mysqli_affected_rows() does it the same way, of course, but the php manual does read other "Returns the number of rows affected by the last INSERT, UPDATE, REPLACE or DELETE query." http://php.net/mysqli_affected_rows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-08 15:28:06] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cannot reproduce on Linux with both client & server of version 5.0.26. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-08 15:07:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't reproduce this with 5.0.27. I get the expected output of 1. Do you have any other sort of special configuration or setting? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
