Examples

Example #1 Object-oriented style

<?php

/* activate reporting */
$driver = new mysqli_driver();
$driver->report_mode = MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL;

try {
/* if the connection fails, a mysqli_sql_exception will be thrown */
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "my_db");

/* this query should report an error */
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Name FROM Nonexistingtable WHERE population > 50000");

/* this query should report a bad index if the column population doesn't have an index */
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Name FROM City WHERE population > 50000");
} catch (
mysqli_sql_exception $e) {
error_log($e->__toString());
}

Example #2 Procedural style

<?php

/* activate reporting */
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL);

try {
/* if the connection fails, a mysqli_sql_exception will be thrown */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "my_db");

/* this query should report an error */
$result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT Name FROM Nonexistingtable WHERE population > 50000");

/* this query should report a bad index if the column population doesn't have an index */
$result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT Name FROM City WHERE population > 50000");
} catch (
mysqli_sql_exception $e) {
error_log($e->__toString());
}

Example #3 Error reporting except bad index errors

<?php

/* activate reporting */
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);

try {
/* if the connection fails, a mysqli_sql_exception will be thrown */
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "my_db");

/* this query should report an error */
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Name FROM Nonexistingtable WHERE population > 50000");

/* this WILL NOT report any errors even if index is not available */
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Name FROM City WHERE population > 50000");
} catch (
mysqli_sql_exception $e) {
error_log($e->__toString());
}

Seems not clear but flags *could be combined*, as per other flags.
For example:

<?php

# wannabe noticed about all errors except those about indexes
$driver = new mysqli_driver();
$driver->report_mode = MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL & ~MYSQLI_REPORT_INDEX;

?>
