Example#1 Object oriented style

$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 150,5";
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) {
/* execute statement */
$stmt->execute();
/* bind result variables */
$stmt->bind_result($name, $code);
/* fetch values */
while ($stmt->fetch()) {
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $name, $code);
}
/* close statement */
$stmt->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();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 150,5";
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) {
/* execute statement */
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
/* bind result variables */
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $name, $code);
/* fetch values */
while (mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)) {
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $name, $code);
}
/* close statement */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>`
