UPDATE with rowCount - php

Question

Basically I'm trying to show a display message depending on if the row within a database was changed or not, I've looked around and it was suggested to use rowCount which I did, however it's still showing me the wrong output
function makeActive()
{
try{
$database = new Database;
$text = "";
$activecode = $_GET["activecode"];
$setActive = "UPDATE username SET active = '1', activecode = 'Active' WHERE activecode = :activecode";
$stmt = $database->query($setActive);
$database->bind(':activecode', $activecode);
$database->execute();
$update = $database->rowCount();
if ($update === 1)
{
return $text .="Your account is now active" . "<br><a href='index.php'>Home page</a>";
}
else
{
return $text .="Your account is already active" . "<br><a href='index.php'>Home page</a>";
}
}
catch(Exception $e )
{
return $text .= "Something went wrong contact site administrator" . "<br><a href='index.php'>Login page</a>";
header( "refresh:10; url=index.php" );
}
}
So basicaly what should happen is if a row is updated, it should display return $text .="Your account is now active" . "<br><a href='index.php'>Home page</a>";
Added database class
class Database
{
private $host = "localhost";
private $user = "root";
private $pass = "";
private $dbname = "got";
private $dbh;
private $error;
private $stmt;
public function __construct()
{
//SET DSN
$dsn = "mysql:host=". $this->host . ";dbname=" . $this->dbname;
$options = array
(
PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true,
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE =>PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION
);
//create PDO
try
{
$this->dbh = new PDO($dsn, $this->user, $this->pass, $options);
}
catch(PDOEception $e)
{
$this->error = $e->getMessage();
}
}
public function query($query)
{
$this->stmt = $this->dbh->prepare($query);
}
public function bind($param, $value, $type = null)
{
if(is_null($type))
{
switch(true)
{
case is_int($value):
$type = PDO::PARAM_INT;
break;
case is_bool($value):
$type = PDO::PARAM_BOOL;
break;
case is_null($value):
$type = PDO::PARAM_NULL;
break;
default:
$type = PDO::PARAM_STR;
}
}
$this->stmt->bindValue($param, $value, $type);
}
public function execute()
{
return $this->stmt->execute();
}
public function lastInsertId()
{
$this->dbh->lastInsertId();
}
public function rowCount()
{
$this->stmt->rowCount();
}
public function connect()
{
$this->dbh->connect();
}
public function resultset()
{
$this->execute();
return $this->stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}
}

Answer 1

Here it is the problem:
Replace the method:
public function rowCount()
{
$this->stmt->rowCount();
}
with this:
public function rowCount()
{
return $this->stmt->rowCount();
}
