exit();
}

if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT @@autocommit")) {
$row = $result->fetch_row();
printf("Autocommit is %s\n", $row[0]);
$result->free();
}

$mysqli->close();
?>`

$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
if (!$link) {
printf("Can't connect to localhost. Error: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* turn autocommit on */
mysqli_autocommit($link, TRUE);
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT @@autocommit")) {
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
printf("Autocommit is %s\n", $row[0]);
mysqli_free_result($result);
