$db and a MySQL query string in $qry. Substitute your default values for connection parameters $host, $user, $pswd:
<?php
function q2html( $db, $qry, $host, $usr, $pwd ) { // EXECUTE QUERY, PAINT RESULT
$conn = connect_db( $db, $host, $usr, $pwd );
$res = mysqli_query( $conn, $qry ) or exit( mysqli_error($conn) );
r2html( $res );
}
function connect_db( $db,
$host = "LOCALHOST",
$user = "USR",
$pswd = "PSWD"
) {
$conn = mysqli_connect( $host, $user, $pswd, $db ) or exit( mysqli_error() );
print "<p>Connected to the $db DB</p>n";
return $conn;
}
function r2html( $res, $tblformat="border='1'" ) { // PAINT RESULT AS HTML TABLE
if( is_bool( $res )) return $res ? "True" : "False";
echo "<table $tblformat>n<tr>";
while( $f = mysqli_fetch_field( $res )) echo "<td><b>", $f->name, "</b></td>n";
echo "</tr>n";
while( $row = mysqli_fetch_row( $res )) {
echo "<tr>";
foreach( $row as $c ) echo "<td>", empty($c)?" ":$c, "</td>";
echo "</tr>n";
}
echo "</table>n";
}
?>
If you put that code in a page called qry.php with your default values of
HOST, USR, PWD, call it like so::
<?php
require_once( "qry.php" );
q2html( "test", "show tables like 't%'", HOST, USR, PWD );
?>
