mysqli::select_db - Selects the default database for database queries

       Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
bool mysqli::select_db (string $dbname) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style bool mysqli_select_db (mysqli $link, string $dbname) Selects the default database to be used when performing queries against the database connection. Note This function should only be used to change the default database for the connection. You can select the default database with 4th parameter in mysqli_connect(3). PARAMETERS
o $ link -Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect(3) or mysqli_init(3) o $dbname - The database name. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 mysqli::select_db example Object oriented style <?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } /* return name of current default database */ if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = $result->fetch_row(); printf("Default database is %s. ", $row[0]); $result->close(); } /* change db to world db */ $mysqli->select_db("world"); /* return name of current default database */ if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = $result->fetch_row(); printf("Default database is %s. ", $row[0]); $result->close(); } $mysqli->close(); ?> Procedural style <?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } /* return name of current default database */ if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result); printf("Default database is %s. ", $row[0]); mysqli_free_result($result); } /* change db to world db */ mysqli_select_db($link, "world"); /* return name of current default database */ if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT DATABASE()")) { $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result); printf("Default database is %s. ", $row[0]); mysqli_free_result($result); } mysqli_close($link); ?> The above examples will output: Default database is test. Default database is world. SEE ALSO

mysqli::multi_query - Performs a query on the database

       Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
bool mysqli::multi_query (string $query) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style bool mysqli_multi_query (mysqli $link, string $query) Executes one or multiple queries which are concatenated by a semicolon. To retrieve the resultset from the first query you can use mysqli_use_result(3) or mysqli_store_result(3). All subsequent query results can be processed using mysqli_more_results(3) and mysqli_next_result(3). PARAMETERS
o $ link -Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect(3) or mysqli_init(3) o $query - The query, as a string. Data inside the query should be properly escaped. RETURN VALUES
Returns FALSE if the first statement failed. To retrieve subsequent errors from other statements you have to call mysqli_next_result(3) first. EXAMPLES
Example #1 mysqli::multi_query example Object oriented style <?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT CURRENT_USER();"; $query .= "SELECT Name FROM City ORDER BY ID LIMIT 20, 5"; /* execute multi query */ if ($mysqli->multi_query($query)) { do { /* store first result set */ if ($result = $mysqli->store_result()) { while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) { printf("%s ", $row[0]); } $result->free(); } /* print divider */ if ($mysqli->more_results()) { printf("----------------- "); } } while ($mysqli->next_result()); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?> Procedural style <?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT CURRENT_USER();"; $query .= "SELECT Name FROM City ORDER BY ID LIMIT 20, 5"; /* execute multi query */ if (mysqli_multi_query($link, $query)) { do { /* store first result set */ if ($result = mysqli_store_result($link)) { while ($row = mysqli_fetch_row($result)) { printf("%s ", $row[0]); } mysqli_free_result($result); } /* print divider */ if (mysqli_more_results($link)) { printf("----------------- "); } } while (mysqli_next_result($link)); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?> The above examples will output something similar to: my_user@localhost ----------------- Amersfoort Maastricht Dordrecht Leiden Haarlemmermeer SEE ALSO
