## Example

Beispiel 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();
}
$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY name";
if ($result = $maxdb->query($query)) {
/* Get field information for column 'SurfaceArea' */
$finfo = $result->fetch_field_direct(1);
printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo->name);
printf("Table: %s\n", $finfo->table);
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
printf("Flags: %d\n", $finfo->flags);
printf("Type: %d\n", $finfo->type);
$result->close();
}
/* close connection */
$maxdb->close();
?>`

Beispiel 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();
}
$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY name";
if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) {
/* Get field information for column 'cno' */
$finfo = maxdb_fetch_field_direct($result, 1);
printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo->name);
printf("Table: %s\n", $finfo->table);
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
printf("Flags: %d\n", $finfo->flags);
printf("Type: %d\n", $finfo->type);
maxdb_free_result($result);
}
/* close connection */
maxdb_close($link);
?>`

The above examples would produce the following output:

    Name:     CNO
    Table:
    max. Len: 4
    Flags:    -1
    Type:     0
