ifx_affected_rows
Get number of rows affected by a query
()
int ifx_affected_rows ( resource result_id )
Returns the number of rows affected by a query associated with result_id.
For inserts, updates and deletes the number is the real number (sqlerrd[2]) of affected rows. For selects it is an estimate (sqlerrd[0]). Don't rely on it. The database server can never return the actual number of rows that will be returned by a SELECT because it has not even begun fetching them at this stage (just after the "PREPARE" when the optimizer has determined the query plan).
Useful after ifx_prepare() to limit queries to reasonable result sets.
Examples
Example 1067. Informix affected rows
<?php
$rid = ifx_prepare("select * from emp
where name like " . $name, $connid);
if (! $rid) {
/* ... error ... */
}
$rowcount = ifx_affected_rows($rid);
if ($rowcount > 1000) {
printf ("Too many rows in result set (%d)\n<br />", $rowcount);
die ("Please restrict your query<br />\n");
}
?>
