### Examples

Example#1 Object oriented style

`<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Table City already exists, so we should get an error */
if (!$mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE City (ID INT, Name VARCHAR(30))")) {
printf("Error - SQLSTATE %s.\n", $mysqli->sqlstate);
}
$mysqli->close();
?>`

Example#2 Procedural style

`<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Table City already exists, so we should get an error */
if (!mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE City (ID INT, Name VARCHAR(30))")) {
printf("Error - SQLSTATE %s.\n", mysqli_sqlstate($link));
}
mysqli_close($link);
?>`

The above example will output:

    Error - SQLSTATE 42S01.
