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

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

$maxdb->close();
?>

Example 2. Procedural style

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

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

/* Print current character set */
$charset = maxdb_character_set_name($link);
