Example #1 Object oriented style

<?php/* Open a connection */$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");/* check connection */if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());    exit();}$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY Name";if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {    /* seek to row no. 400 */    $result->data_seek(399);    /* fetch row */    $row = $result->fetch_row();    printf ("City: %s  Countrycode: %s\n", $row[0], $row[1]);    /* free result set*/    $result->close();}/* close connection */$mysqli->close();?>
