what you delete what you need to return is affected_rows http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.affected-rows.php

What you need to Replace

if ($result = $mysqli->query("DELETE FROM ktable WHERE code='value'")) {
    printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", $result->num_rows);


    printf($result->num_rows);
    $result->close();
}

Working Code

$value = ""; // Set To any Value
$mysqli = new mysqli ( "SQLHOST.COM", "CLIENT", "PASSWORD", "DNAME", 1234 );
if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
    printf ( "Connect failed: %s\n", $mysqli->connect_error );
    exit ();
} else {
    printf ( "cONN Sucees" );
    if ($mysqli->query (sprintf ( "DELETE FROM ktable WHERE code='%s'", mysqli_real_escape_string ( $mysqli, $value ) ) )) {
        printf ( "Affected Rows  %d rows.\n", $mysqli->affected_rows );
    }
}

You should have a working output
