Examples

Example #1 Object oriented style


<?php

$maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");



/* check connection */

if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {

   printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());

   exit();

}



$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";



if ($result = $maxdb->query($query)) {



   /* Get field information for all columns */

   while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) {



       printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo->name);

       printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);

       printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);

       printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);

       printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo->type);

   }

   $result->close();

}



/* close connection */

$maxdb->close();

?>

Example #2 Procedural style


<?php

$link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");



/* check connection */

if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {

   printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());

   exit();

}



$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";



if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) {



   /* Get field information for all fields */

   while ($finfo = maxdb_fetch_field($result)) {



       printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo->name);

       printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);

       printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);

       printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);

       printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo->type);

   }

   maxdb_free_result($result);

}



/* close connection */

maxdb_close($link);

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Name:     NAME
Table:
max. Len: 10
Flags:    -1
Type:     2

Name:     CNO
Table:
max. Len: 4
Flags:    -1
Type:     0
