Example #1 mysqli::set_local_infile_handler example

Object oriented style

`<?php
$db = mysqli_init();
$db->real_connect("localhost","root","","test");
function callme($stream, &$buffer, $buflen, &$errmsg)
{
$buffer = fgets($stream);
echo $buffer;
// convert to upper case and replace "," delimiter with [TAB]
$buffer = strtoupper(str_replace(",", "\t", $buffer));
return strlen($buffer);
}
echo "Input:\n";
$db->set_local_infile_handler("callme");
$db->query("LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'input.txt' INTO TABLE t1");
$db->set_local_infile_default();
$res = $db->query("SELECT * FROM t1");
echo "\nResult:\n";
while ($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) {
echo join(",", $row)."\n";
}
?>`

Procedural style

`<?php
$db = mysqli_init();
mysqli_real_connect($db, "localhost","root","","test");
function callme($stream, &$buffer, $buflen, &$errmsg)
{
$buffer = fgets($stream);
echo $buffer;
// convert to upper case and replace "," delimiter with [TAB]
$buffer = strtoupper(str_replace(",", "\t", $buffer));
return strlen($buffer);
}
echo "Input:\n";
mysqli_set_local_infile_handler($db, "callme");
mysqli_query($db, "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'input.txt' INTO TABLE t1");
mysqli_set_local_infile_default($db);
$res = mysqli_query($db, "SELECT * FROM t1");
echo "\nResult:\n";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)) {
echo join(",", $row)."\n";
}
?>`
