knowing if PDO->execute affected any rows

[mkosmosports]

Hello,

 

When issuing update or insert sql statements using PDO->execute is there anyway of knowing whether any rows were actually affected?

 

Also, is there anyway execute can return a FALSE boolean? (it says on the www.php.net/pdo site it can, but how?)

 

Thanks.

rowCount returns the number of effected rows.

 

Also, is there anyway execute can return a FALSE boolean? (it says on the www.php.net/pdo site it can, but how?)

 

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. It does return true on success or false on failure.
