Example 1. Object oriented style

/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
  
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
   exit();
}

if (
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM City ORDER BY ID LIMIT 1")) {

  
/* determine number of fields in result set */
  
$field_cnt = $result->field_count;

  
printf("Result set has %d fields.\n", $field_cnt);

  
/* close result set */
  
$result->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();
}

if (
$result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT * FROM City ORDER BY ID LIMIT 1")) {

  
/* determine number of fields in result set */
  
$field_cnt = mysqli_num_fields($result);

  
printf("Result set has %d fields.\n", $field_cnt);

  
/* close result set */
  
mysqli_free_result($result);
}

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

The above examples would produce the following output:
