sesam_affected_rows — Get number of rows affected by an immediate query

### Description

int sesam_affected_rows ( string `$result_id` )

Gets the number of rows affected by an immediate query.

The sesam_affected_rows() function can only return useful values when used in combination with "immediate" SQL statements (updating operations like INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE) because SESAM does not deliver any "affected rows" information for "select type" queries.

### Parameters

`result_id`

  A valid result id returned by sesam_query().

### Return Values

Returns the number of rows affected by a query associated with `result_id` .

### Examples

Example#1 sesam_affected_rows() example

`<?php
$result = sesam_execimm("DELETE FROM PHONE WHERE LASTNAME = '" . strtoupper($name) . "'");
if (!$result) {
/* ... error ... */
}
echo sesam_affected_rows($result).
" entries with last name " . $name . " deleted.\n";
?>`
