Question

I've gone through forums and posts, but i just can't seem to figure out what i'm doing wrong here.

i tried $mysqli->num_rows first to get the affected rows, but appearantly that only works for SELECT statements. Unfortunately, ..->affected_rows also seems to return 0 every time. What is the problem?

$key = $email . $password . $mysqli->mysqli_salt;
$update_password = "UPDATE `users` SET `password`=SHA1(?) WHERE `surname`=? AND `lastname`=? AND `email`=?";
$stmt_update = $mysqli->prepare($update_password);
$stmt_update->bind_param("ssss", $key, $surname, $lastname, $email);
$stmt_update->execute();
$rows = $stmt_update->affected_rows; //i've also tried '$mysqli->affected_rows;
if ($rows != 1) {
   echo 'error';
}
$stmt_update->close();

thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try setting the password to something else, not the same value over and over again. If the password does not change, the row does not count as updated.
