<?php/* Open a connection */$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");/* check connection */if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit();}$mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE myCountry LIKE Country");$mysqli->query("INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country");$query = "SELECT Name, Code FROM myCountry ORDER BY Name";if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) { /* drop table */ $mysqli->query("DROP TABLE myCountry"); /* execute query */ $stmt->execute(); printf("Error: %s.\n", $stmt->error); /* close statement */ $stmt->close();}/* close connection */$mysqli->close();?>
Example #2 Procedural style
<?php/* Open a connection */$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");/* check connection */if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit();}mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE myCountry LIKE Country");mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country");$query = "SELECT Name, Code FROM myCountry ORDER BY Name";if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) { /* drop table */ mysqli_query($link, "DROP TABLE myCountry"); /* execute query */ mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); printf("Error: %s.\n", mysqli_stmt_error($stmt)); /* close statement */ mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);}/* close connection */mysqli_close($link);?>
The above examples will output:
Error: Table 'world.myCountry' doesn't exist.
