Examples of "query" in Sentences

# Make up a simple query my $query = new Unit:: Request ( "");
Next you plan out your query and assign it to the $query variable.
$Vm = gwmi - namespace root\virtualization - query $query - computername $HyperVServer
$result = $db - > query ($query); if ($result) echo $db - > affected_rows. 'student inserted into the database.'
$Kvp = gwmi - namespace root\virtualization - query $query - computername $HyperVServer Write-Host "Guest KVP information for"
$result = mysql_query ($query) or die ( "Couldn't execute query"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) $indexx = $row [ "indexx"];
You do this by sending the straight text through PHP either through a variable or through the mysql_query command directly, like this: $query = "SELECT * from TABLE"; $results = mysql_query ($query); You can also do it like this: $results = mysql_query ( "SELECT * from TABLE"); The results of your query are then put into a temporary array known as $results, which you'll learn more about later.
