$maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
                                                                             
/* check connection */

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

$maxdb->close();
?>

$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);
printf ("Current character set is %s\n",$charset);

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