Example 2. Procedural style 
<?php /* Open a connection */ $link  =  mysqli_connect ( "localhost" ,  "my_user" ,  "my_password" ,  "world" ); /* check connection */  if ( mysqli_connect_errno ()) {      printf ( "Connect failed: %s\n" ,  mysqli_connect_error ());     exit(); } mysqli_query ( $link ,  "CREATE TABLE myCountry LIKE Country" ); mysqli_query ( $link ,  "INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country" ); $query  =  "SELECT Name, Code FROM myCountry ORDER BY Name" ; if ( $stmt  =  mysqli_prepare ( $link ,  $query )) {      /* drop table */      mysqli_query ( $link ,  "DROP TABLE myCountry" );      /* execute query */      mysqli_stmt_execute ( $stmt );      printf ( "Error: %s.\n" ,  mysqli_stmt_error ( $stmt ));      /* close statement */      mysqli_stmt_close ( $stmt ); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close ( $link ); ?> 
 
The above example will output:
