Are there any specific PHP functions or syntax that should be used when attempting to output a message after a database operation in PHP?

When attempting to output a message after a database operation in PHP, you can use the `mysqli_affected_rows()` function to get the number of affected rows by the last INSERT, UPDATE, REPLACE or DELETE query. You can then use this information to display a success or failure message to the user. 

// Perform a database operation
$result = mysqli_query($conn, "UPDATE users SET name = 'John' WHERE id = 1");

// Check if the operation was successful
if (mysqli_affected_rows($conn) > 0) {
    echo "Record updated successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error updating record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
