ifx_affected_rows -- Get number of rows affected by a query
Description
int 
ifx_affected_rows ( int result_id )
     result_id is a valid result id returned by
     ifx_query() or
     ifx_prepare(). 
    
 
     Returns the number of rows affected by a query associated with
     result_id.  
    
 
     For inserts, updates and deletes the number is the real number
     (sqlerrd[2]) of affected rows. For selects it is an estimate
     (sqlerrd[0]). Don't rely on it. The database server can never
     return the actual number of rows that will be returned by a
     SELECT because it has not even begun fetching them at this stage
     (just after the "PREPARE" when the optimizer has determined the
     query plan).
    
 
     Useful after ifx_prepare() to limit queries to
     reasonable result sets.
    
     
Example 1. Informix affected rows 
<?php $rid = ifx_prepare("select * from emp                       where name like " . $name, $connid); if (! $rid) {     /* ... error ... */ } $rowcount = ifx_affected_rows($rid); if ($rowcount > 1000) {     printf ("Too many rows in result set (%d)\n<br />", $rowcount);     die ("Please restrict your query<br />\n"); } ?>
