How to check if mysqli_query deleted any rows

Question

I created function that delete some data from my database. This is part of it:

mysqli_query($con, "DELETE FROM appsdata WHERE ownerID=123");

But I want to check how many rows were deleted. Mysql_query returns always true, no matter if something was deleted :/

Answer 1

You can use mysqli_affected_rows:

mysqli_affected_rows($mysqli_link);

or

$mysqli->affected_rows
