PHP - MYSQLI CONNECT AND QUERY

$db = new mysqli('localhost','user','password','database');
$resource = $db->query('SELECT field FROM table WHERE 1');
$row = $resource->fetch_assoc();
echo "{$row['field']}";
$resource->free();
$db->close();


If you're grabbing more than one row, I do it like this:

$db = new mysqli('localhost','user','password','database');
$resource = $db->query('SELECT field FROM table WHERE 1');
while ( $row = $resource->fetch_assoc() ) {
    echo "{$row['field']}";
}
$resource->free();
$db->close();
