php - PDO Success message not firing -

trying find out why success or failure message not displayed

i following in class inside php file

 public  $errors                   = array();      public  $messages                 = array(); 

...

public function yyyy(xxxx) $this->db_connection->setattribute( pdo::attr_errmode, pdo::errmode_warning );             $query_user_update = $this->db_connection->prepare('update users set user_email = :user_email, user_type = :user_type id = :id');                                                           $query_user_update->bindvalue(':user_email', $user_email, pdo::param_str);              $query_user_update->bindvalue(':user_type', $user_type, pdo::param_str);              $query_user_update->bindvalue(':id', $_session['id'], pdo::param_int);                          $query_user_update->execute();               $count = $query_user_update->rowcount(); 

i used $count show me if row updated used debugging make sure have updated @ least 1 row. following:

  if ($query_user_update) {                      // set true page not reload form                     $this->updateuser_successful = true;                       // display success message                     $this->messages[] = message_userrecord_changed_successfully;                                                                   print("we have updated $count rows.\n");                                                  } else {                 // display failure message                 $this->errors[] = message_userrecord_changed_failed;            }   

i have included file contains messages using require_once('en.php) in php page loads form.

when run , update record in form , submit, $count 1 message "we have updated 1 row" displayed on screen message assigned message_userrecord_changed_successfully not. check database , can see record indeed updated.

i have form works bit puzzled. appreciated.

you have not returned or echoed.

if ($query_user_update) {                      // set true page not reload form                     $this->updateuser_successful = true;                       // display success message                     $this->messages[] = message_userrecord_changed_successfully;                                                                   print("we have updated $count rows.\n");                         return $this->messages;                                              } else {                 // display failure message                 $this->errors[] = message_userrecord_changed_failed;                 return $this->errors;            }  

you in page form is:

$returndata = $someclass->somefunction(params); for($i = 0; $i < count($returndata); $i++) {     echo $returndata[$i]; } 

the $returndata variable holds returned array, either errors or messages.
