printf("Statement has %d markers.\n", $marker);
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$maxdb->close();
?>`

Example #2 Procedural style

`<?php
$link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
/* check connection */
if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
exit();
}
if ($stmt = maxdb_prepare($link, "SELECT name FROM hotel.city WHERE name=? OR state=?")) {
$marker = maxdb_stmt_param_count($stmt);
printf("Statement has %d markers.\n", $marker);
/* close statement */
maxdb_stmt_close($stmt);
