## Examples

Example 1. Object oriented style
`<?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } /* print server version */ printf("Server version: %d\n", $mysqli->server_version); /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?>`

Example 2. Procedural style
`<?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } /* print server version */ printf("Server version: %d\n", mysqli_get_server_version($link)); /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?>`
