updating records with prepared statements, checking if update worked

I have a query that updates a record on my database, it works fine but i wanted to know how to check if the update has happened so i can return true and display the right message?

Now i know with a SELECT query i can do:

if(stmt->fetch())

If that is true i return true and saying "records found" but i haven't got a clue how to do it for an update query?

Anyone know how to?

$query = "UPDATE user
            SET password = ?
            WHERE email = ?";

if($stmt = $conn->prepare($query)) 
{
    $stmt->bind_param('ss', $pwd, $userEmail);
    $stmt->execute();

    //Check if update worked
}

Thanks for the help.

Solution

  • check if below works:

    $query = "UPDATE user
        SET password = ?
        WHERE email = ?";

if($stmt = $conn->prepare($query)) {
    $stmt->bind_param('ss', $pwd, $userEmail);
    if ($stmt->execute()) {
        // Worked...
    } else {
        // Didn't work...
    }
}
