Examples
Example 20.188. Object oriented style
<?php $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 */ $finfo = $result->fetch_fields(); foreach ($finfo as $val) { printf('Name: %s\n', $val->name); printf('Table: %s\n', $val->table); printf('max. Len: %d\n', $val->max_length); printf('Flags: %d\n', $val->flags); printf('Type: %d\n\n', $val->type); } $result->close(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?>
Example 20.189. 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 columns */ $finfo = mysqli_fetch_fields($result); foreach ($finfo as $val) { printf('Name: %s\n', $val->name); printf('Table: %s\n', $val->table); printf('max. Len: %d\n', $val->max_length); printf('Flags: %d\n', $val->flags); printf('Type: %d\n\n', $val->type); } mysqli_free_result($result); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?>
The above examples will output:
Name: Name Table: Country max. Len: 11 Flags: 1 Type: 254 Name: SurfaceArea Table: Country max. Len: 10 Flags: 32769 Type: 4
