Object oriented style

Examples

Example #1 Object oriented style

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

maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
$maxdb->query("DROP TABLE friends");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);

$maxdb->query( "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");

$maxdb->query( "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut')");
$maxdb->query( "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (2, 'Ulf')");

if ($maxdb->field_count()) {
   /* this was a select/show or describe query */
   $result = $maxdb->store_result();

   /* process resultset */
   $row = $result->fetch_row();

   /* free resultset */
   $result->close();
}

/* close connection */
$maxdb->close();
?>

Example #2 Procedural style

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

maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
maxdb_query($link,"DROP TABLE friends");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);

maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");

maxdb_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut')");
maxdb_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (2, 'Ulf')");

if (maxdb_field_count($link)) {
   /* this was a select/show or describe query */
   $result = maxdb_store_result($link);

   /* process resultset */
   $row = maxdb_fetch_row($result);

   /* free resultset */
   maxdb_free_result($result);
}

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

The above example produces no output.
