field_count ( void )
}

<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
$mysqli->query( "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS friends");
$mysqli->query( "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");
$mysqli->query( "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut'), (2, 'Ulf')");
$mysqli->real_query($HTTP_POST_VARS['query']);
if ($mysqli->field_count) {
/* this was a select/show or describe query */
$result = $mysqli->store_result();
/* process resultset */
$row = $result->fetch_row();
/* free resultset */
$result->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
