public function create($tableName, $userInput) { $this->db->insert($tableName, $userInput); return $this->db->affected_rows(); } As you see, $this->db->affected_rows();

public function create($tableName, $userInput) {

    $this->db->insert($tableName, $userInput);
    return $this->db->affected_rows();

}

As you see, $this->db->affected_rows(); is not referencing to any specific resource/executed statement.

Does affected_rows() return latest affected_rows() in the database generally? In other words, if i have 50 users calling create(…) function, how does codeigniter associate each affected_rows() to its executed statement?

This questions is codeigniter specific.

    In codeigniter system/database/drivers/mysql/mysql_driver.php at line 337:

    /**
 * Affected Rows
 *
 * @access  public
 * @return  integer
 */
function affected_rows()
{
    return @mysql_affected_rows($this->conn_id);
}

    Which basically means there are no difference between CodeIgniter and standard PHP function http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-affected-rows.php

    It returns the number of rows which were affected by the last query, so if you have problems and it’s always returning 1, it means codeigniter iterates your query, a quick workaround for this to work is to use your own query with `$this->db->query();’
