Examples:
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 */ while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) { 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); } $result->close(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?>
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:
Name: Name Table: Country max. Len: 11 Flags: 1 Type: 254 Name: SurfaceArea Table: Country max. Len: 10 Flags: 32769 Type: 4
