Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-07 00:20:37] php_bug at incognitox dot org Description: ------------ The current documentation in the PHP5 manual for the function mysqli_affected_rows (currently visible online at http://php.net/mysqli_affected_rows) has the following conflicting information: "For SELECT statements mysqli_affected_rows() works like mysqli_num_rows()." "The mysqli_affected_rows() function only works with queries which modify a table. In order to return the number of rows from a SELECT query, use the mysqli_num_rows() function instead." The former appears to actually be the case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39072&edit=1
