$query "SELECT * from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 1";

if (
$result $mysqli->query($query)) {

    
$row $result->fetch_row();

    
/* display column lengths */
    
foreach ($result->lengths as $i => $val) {
        
printf("Field %2d has Length %2d\n"$i+1$val);
    }
    
$result->close();
}

$query "SELECT * from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 1";

if (
$result mysqli_query($link$query)) {

    
$row mysqli_fetch_row($result);

    
/* display column lengths */
    
foreach (mysqli_fetch_lengths($result) as $i => $val) {
        
printf("Field %2d has Length %2d\n"$i+1$val);
    }
    
mysqli_free_result($result);
