## Examples

Example 1. Object oriented style
`<?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } /* turn autocommit on */ $mysqli->autocommit(TRUE); if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT @@autocommit")) { $row = $result->fetch_row(); printf("Autocommit is %s\n", $row[0]); $result->free(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?>`

Example 2. Procedural style
`<?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); if (!$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); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?>`

The above example will output:

    Autocommit is 1
