Nah... just use the object notation, and it actually makes more sense.
*new way*
$db_conn = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
$cursor = $db_conn->query("SELECT first_name FROM Users LIMIT 0,10");
while($row = $cursor->fetch_assoc()) {
echo $row['first_name'];
}
$cursor->close();
*old way*
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
$cursor = mysql_query("SELECT first_name FROM Users LIMIT 0,10");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($cursor)) {
echo $row['first_name'];
}
mysql_free_result($cursor);
There is slightly less typing with the new way, and it will work with
mutiple connections. :)
