PHP Manual: oci_num

oci_num_rows

(PHP 5)

oci_num_rows -- Returns number of rows affected during statement execution

Description

int oci_num_rows ( resource stmt )

oci_num_rows() returns number of rows affected during statement execution.

Note: This function does not return number of rows selected! For SELECT statements this function will return the number of rows, that were fetched to the buffer with oci_fetch*() functions.

Example 1. oci_num_rows() example

<?php
    echo "<pre>";
    $conn = oci_connect("scott", "tiger");
     
    $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "create table emp2 as select * from emp");
    oci_execute($stmt);
    echo oci_num_rows($stmt) . " rows inserted.<br />";
    oci_free_statement($stmt);
    
    $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "delete from emp2");
    oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
    echo oci_num_rows($stmt) . " rows deleted.<br />";
    oci_commit($conn);
    oci_free_statement($stmt);
    
    $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "drop table emp2");
    oci_execute($stmt);
    oci_free_statement($stmt);
    
    oci_close($conn);
    echo "</pre>";
?>

oci_num_rows() returns FALSE on error.

Note: In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocirowcount() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_num_rows() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
