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();
}

/* return name of current default database */
if ($result $maxdb->query("SELECT SERVERDB FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME='MONA'")) {
   
$row $result->fetch_row();
   
printf("Default database is %s.\n"$row[0]);
   
$result->close();
}

/* change db to non existing db */
$maxdb->select_db("XXXXXXXX");

/* return name of current default database */
if ($result $maxdb->query("SELECT SERVERDB FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME='MONA'")) {
   
$row $result->fetch_row();
   
printf("Default database is %s.\n"$row[0]);
   
$result->close();
}

$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();
}

/* return name of current default database */
if ($result maxdb_query($link"SELECT SERVERDB FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME='MONA'")) {
   
$row maxdb_fetch_row($result);
   
printf("Default database is %s.\n"$row[0]);
   
maxdb_free_result($result);
}

/* change db to non existing db */
maxdb_select_db($link"XXXXXXXX");

/* return name of current default database */
if ($result maxdb_query($link"SELECT SERVERDB FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME='MONA'")) {
   
$row maxdb_fetch_row($result);
   
printf("Default database is %s.\n"$row[0]);
   
maxdb_free_result($result);
}

maxdb_close($link);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Default database is <...>.
