Detecting Model->delete() query result - how to detect error?

Thanks InsiteFX.

I see there is also a brief mention of return results here for regular queries (though not for ->update(), or ->delete() commands, where this thread started): https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/datab...s.html#id2.  The text from the manual is: "When “write” type queries are run it simply returns TRUE or FALSE depending on success or failure."

I've not tested it yet, but I'd be inclined to want to believe a DELETE is a 'write' type query... so in concept, it should return TRUE if it is successful... though, this still leaves the question of when the query executes successfully, but finds nothing to delete (?).

There is you need to scroll down the page.

PHP Code:

insert([$set = NULL[, $escape = NULL]])

Returns:    
TRUE on success, FALSE on failure

---------------------------------------

update([$set = NULL[, $where = NULL[, $limit = NULL]]])

Returns:    
TRUE on success, FALSE on failure

---------------------------------------

delete([$where = ''[, $limit = NULL[, $reset_data = TRUE]]])

Returns:    
BaseBuilder instance (method chaining) or FALSE on failure
