    | mysqli_query    (PHP 5) mysqli_query     (no version information, might be only in CVS) mysqli->query -- Performs a query on the databaseDescriptionProcedural style: mixed mysqli_query  ( mysqli link, string query [, int resultmode] ) Object oriented style (method): class mysqli  {  mixed query  ( string query [, int resultmode] ) } 
     The mysqli_query() function is used to simplify the
     act of performing a query against the database represented by the
     link parameter. 
     
     Functionally, using this
     function is identical to calling mysqli_real_query()
     followed either by mysqli_use_result() or 
     mysqli_store_result() where query
     is the query string itself and resultmode is
     either the constant MYSQLI_USE_RESULT or 
     MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT depending
     on the desired behavior. By default, if the 
     resultmode is not provided 
     MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT is used.     
     
     If you execute mysqli_query() with resultmode
     MYSQLI_USE_RESULT all subsequent calls will return error 
     Commands out of sync unless you call mysqli_free_result().
    Return Values
     Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or
     EXPLAIN mysqli_query() will return
     a result object.
    Examples| Example 1. Object oriented style | <?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}
/* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
if ($mysqli->query("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCity LIKE City") === TRUE) {
    printf("Table myCity successfully created.\n");
}
/* Select queries return a resultset */
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Name FROM City LIMIT 10")) {
    printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", $result->num_rows);
    /* free result set */
    $result->close();
}
/* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MYSQLI_USE_RESULT */
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM City", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)) {
    /* Note, that we can't execute any functions which interact with the
       server until result set was closed. All calls will return an 
       'out of sync' error */
    if (!$mysqli->query("SET @a:='this will not work'")) {
        printf("Error: %s\n", $mysqli->error);
    }
    $result->close();
}
$mysqli->close();
?> |

 | Example 2. Procedural style | <?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}
/* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
if (mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCity LIKE City") === TRUE) {
    printf("Table myCity successfully created.\n");
}
/* Select queries return a resultset */
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT Name FROM City LIMIT 10")) {
    printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", mysqli_num_rows($result));
    /* free result set */
    mysqli_free_result($result);
}
/* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MYSQLI_USE_RESULT */
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT * FROM City", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)) {
    /* Note, that we can't execute any functions which interact with the
       server until result set was closed. All calls will return an 
       'out of sync' error */
    if (!mysqli_query($link, "SET @a:='this will not work'")) {
        printf("Error: %s\n", mysqli_error($link));
    }
    mysqli_free_result($result);
}
mysqli_close($link);
?> |

 The above example will output: | Table myCity successfully created.
Select returned 10 rows.
