$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
 printf('Connect failed: %s\n', mysqli_connect_error());
 exit();
}
$query = 'SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5';
if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
 /* Get field information for all columns */
 while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) {
 printf('Name: %s\n', $finfo->name);
 printf('Table: %s\n', $finfo->table);

 printf('Flags: %d\n', $finfo->flags);
 printf('Type: %d\n\n', $finfo->type);
 }
 $result->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>

Example 20.187. Procedural style

<?php
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
 printf('Connect failed: %s\n', mysqli_connect_error());
 exit();
}
$query = 'SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5';
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {
 /* Get field information for all fields */
 while ($finfo = mysqli_fetch_field($result)) {
 printf('Name: %s\n', $finfo->name);
 printf('Table: %s\n', $finfo->table);
 printf('max. Len: %d\n', $finfo->max_length);
 printf('Flags: %d\n', $finfo->flags);
 printf('Type: %d\n\n', $finfo->type);
 }
 mysqli_free_result($result);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

The above examples will output:
