Problem solved. There is a command no longer listed among the php documentation (since it has been updated for the newest releases) called pg_cmdtuples which does I guess the same thing as pg_affected_rows. That does just what I need in 4.1. Maybe I should find a 4.1 version of the documentation (or update to PHP 4.2/3) thanks for everyone's help in looking into this. /mark **************************************** On Fri, 6 Dec 2002, scott.marlowe wrote: > On Fri, 6 Dec 2002 brew@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > > > > I have an update statement that queries a db and updates wheere > > > it finds matches. > > > > Ooops, I just noticed it was an update statement, but there is a function > > for that, too, pg_affected_rows, I think. > > Note that the pg_affected_rows was added as of php version 4.2.0, so > you'll need to upgrade from 4.1 to get that functionality. > > 4.3 is in RC2 or so right now, so you might wanna wait a week or two for > the new version of php to come out. > >
