Rows affected?

[Roger Godefroy]

Hi,

I am executing an update-query. Is there a way I would get a result if there
is a row affected, because if the row isn't affected (product may not exist)
I have to execute a insert-query. This way I could use 1 query (in the
update-case). Else I would always have to execute 2 query's (1 count-query
and 1 insert or update query).

Thnxz...

Should give you a hint.
That it says dk.php.net is only due to the local mirror.

thnxz... mysql_affected_rows() was the function. Totally forgot the
mysql-functions...

If you are using MySQL:

mysql_query("update table set bla='bla' where id=17");

if (mysql_affected_rows() == 0) {

mysql_query("insert ...");

}

Should work :)
