SELECT User.CellPhone, \'$SMSMessage\' as TextDecoded
FROM db2.User

Answer 1

Here are some possibilities:

» If you have an AUTO_INCREMENT column, you can fetch the row number before and after insert

» SELECT ROW_COUNT() returns the number of rows changed, deleted, or inserted by the last statement if it was an UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT (doc)

» You can use mysqli_affected_rows (since mysql_ functions are being deprecated) to get the number of affected rows in a previous MySQL operation (doc)

$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

if (!$link) {
    printf("Can't connect to localhost. Error: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

/* Insert rows */
mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO myTable VALUES (1)");
printf("Affected rows (INSERT): %d\n", mysqli_affected_rows($link));
