/* Get field information for all columns */
    
while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) {

        
printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo->name);
        
printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);

$query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5";

if (
$result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {
