I see you there's been lots of responses already, but there's an important
related bit of news folks might want to know.
Everyone who uses the mysql_affected_rows() should know that a bug was
fixed in 3.23.36 that evidentally reports affected rows incorrectly if
MySQL was compiled without support for transactions. Go to
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_News.html and
scroll down to section F.2.2. It's the 8th item in the list.
So shy away depending on mysql_affected_rows() for anything unless you're
absolutely sure you're running at least 3.23.36 or have transaction support
compiled in.
