Example #1 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 2nd column */ $result->field_seek(1); $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();?>
Example #2 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, $query)) { /* Get field information for 2nd column */ mysqli_field_seek($result, 1); $finfo = mysqli_fetch_field($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: SurfaceArea Table: Country max. Len: 10 Flags: 32769 Type: 4
