Examples
Example 1. Object oriented style
<?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
/* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); }
/* return name of current default database */ if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = $result->fetch_row(); printf("Default database is %s.\n", $row[0]); $result->close(); }
/* change db to world db */ $mysqli->select_db("world");
/* return name of current default database */ if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = $result->fetch_row(); printf("Default database is %s.\n", $row[0]); $result->close(); }
$mysqli->close(); ?>

Example 2. Procedural style
<?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
/* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); }
/* return name of current default database */ if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result); printf("Default database is %s.\n", $row[0]); mysqli_free_result($result); }
/* change db to world db */ mysqli_select_db($link, "world");
/* return name of current default database */ if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result); printf("Default database is %s.\n", $row[0]); mysqli_free_result($result); }
mysqli_close($link); ?>
