       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php
	      /* Open a connection */
	      $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      /* Print current character set */
	      $charset = $maxdb->character_set_name();
	      printf ("Current character set is %s
", $charset);

	      $maxdb->close();
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      Procedural style

	      <?php
	      $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (!$link) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      /* Print current character set */
	      $charset = maxdb_character_set_name($link);
	      printf ("Current character set is %s
",$charset);

	      /* close connection */
	      maxdb_close($link);
	      ?>
