Question

I use a mysql_affected_rows on a query but it seems to return false even though the query did execute so i’m a bit confused….

This is what i have:

$check = mysql_query("DELETE FROM $table 
         WHERE name = '".$darray[0]."' AND 
         password = '".$darray[1]."' AND uid = '$uid' 
         AND validation = '22'") 
         or die(mysql_error());


if(mysql_affected_rows($check)>0){
    echo 1;
    exit;

} else {
 echo 'Less than one!';
 exit;
}

Any idea why it says less than one – even though my query did actually delete the row ?

mysql_affected_rows() takes the link identifier (i.e., the connection resource), not the result.
