determine a mysqli_result object

[Scott Johnson]

I have a class that I am converting from mysql to mysqli in PHP 5.2.x

The problem I ran into is this.

Previously I could check the mysql_query if it return a resource by using:

is_resource($resource)

and could parse the resource using mysql_fetch_assoc or similar

and if it was an insert, update, etc.. it would not return a resource
and I would just return a true and carry on.

Now with mysqli it return a mysql_result object.

How do I check for this so I know whether to parse or return

Thanks

Here is a nutshell of what was using for mysql

// Already connected to mysqli

public function query($query){
$resource = $this->connection->query($query);

if($resource) {

if(is_resource($resource)) { // parse

$data = array();

$idx = 0;

while($result = $this->connection->fetch_assoc()) {

$data[$idx] = $result;
// Object assembly

}
} else { // return

// update, insert, etc..
return true;

}
} else {
// error
}
}

Crap figured it out. Was binging for the wrong answer.

if($result_obj) {
if($result_obj instanceof mysqli_result) {
echo 'good';

$data = array();
$idx = 0;

while($result = $result_obj->fetch_assoc()) {
$data[$idx] = $result;
$idx++;
}
print_r($data);
} else {
return true;
}
}
