	      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(",", "	", $buffer));

		  return strlen($buffer);
		}

		echo "Input:
";

		$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 "
Result:
";
		while ($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) {
		  echo join(",", $row)."
";
		}
	      ?>

	      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(",", "	", $buffer));

		  return strlen($buffer);
		}

		echo "Input:
";

		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 "
Result:
";
		while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)) {
		  echo join(",", $row)."
";
		}
	      ?>
