PDO->exec()

PDO->exec() — Execute an SQL statement and return the number of affected rows

Descripción

PDO
int exec ( string $statement )

PDO->exec() executes an SQL statement in a single function call, returning the number of rows affected by the statement.

PDO->exec() does not return results from a SELECT statement. For a SELECT statement that you only need to issue once during your program, consider issuing PDO->query(). For a statement that you need to issue multiple times, prepare a PDOStatement object with PDO->prepare() and issue the statement with PDOStatement->execute().

Lista de parámetros

statement

The SQL statement to prepare and execute.

Valores retornados

PDO->exec() returns the number of rows that were modified or deleted by the SQL statement you issued. If no rows were affected, PDO->exec() returns 0.

Warning

Esta función puede devolver FALSE, pero también puede devolver un valor no-booleano que será evaluado FALSE, como por ejemplo 0 o "". Por favor, lea la sección Booleans para más información. Utilice el operador === para comprobar el valor devuelto por esta función.

The following example incorrectly relies on the return value of PDO->exec(), wherein a statement that affected 0 rows results in a call to die():

<?php
$db
->exec() or die($db->errorInfo());
?>

Ejemplos

Example#1 Issuing a DELETE statement

Count the number of rows deleted by a DELETE statement with no WHERE clause.

<?php
$dbh 
= new PDO('odbc:sample''db2inst1''ibmdb2');

/* Delete all rows from the FRUIT table */
$count $dbh->exec("DELETE FROM fruit WHERE colour = 'red'");

/* Return number of rows that were deleted */
print("Deleted $count rows.\n");
?>

El resultado del ejemplo seria:

Deleted 1 rows.
