ajax won't let me obtain affected_rows - cupboy - 04-23-2016
This code is in a file being run as ajax. Trying to obtain the count of affected rows causes a failure. I get no error message, and the try .. catch doesn't catch it either. What could be going on? I'll blame it on the ajax since code like this works everyplace else.
Also this returns false: var_dump(method_exists($q,'affected_rows')); // returns false
Can that be? Wouldn't a query always have that method? Or isn't it a method?
Code:
$q = $mysqli->query($sql);
if (is_object($q))
echo "this is as far as it goes.............";
else
echo "not object";
$rowsAffected = $q->affected_rows(); // <== this is where it fails
echo "rows returned: "; // .$rowsAffected; // fails on this and says nothing about it.

If you are choosing OOP style for mysqli query then you have to use mysqli object to use any method/property of mysqli.
TRY:
$rowsAffected = $mysqli->affected_rows;
affected_rows is a property of mysqli object and not query. You can refer http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.affected-rows.php for more information.

Sorry, if I was not clear. I wasn't only talking about parenthesis, my main emphasis was on the variable you are using before that
You are using
$q = $mysqli->query($sql);
$rowsAffected = $q->affected_rows();
^^
I am talking about this variable, this should be "$mysqli" and not "$q" because the property you want to use is of the "mysqli" object.
The final code should be like:
$mysqli = new mysqli($server, $user, $password, $db_name);
$q = $mysqli->query($sql);
$rowsAffected = $mysqli->affected_rows;
echo $rowsAffected;
