Answer 1

here is little example

class database {
    public $connection;

    function __construct() {
        $this->connection = mysqli_connect(DBHOST,
                                           DBUSER,
                                           DBPASS,
                                           DBNAME) or 
        die('Database Connection Error: '.mysqli_connect_error());  
    }

    public function close_database() { 
        return mysqli_close($this->connection); 
    }
    public function query($query) {
        $query = mysqli_query($this->connection ,$query) or die($this->show_errors('Query Execution Error: '.mysqli_error($this->connection),'E'));
        return $query;  
    }
    public function fetch_assoc($query) {
        $query = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query);
        return $query;  
    }
}

$db = new database();
$query = $db->query("SHOW TABLES FROM DATABASENAME");
$db->fetch_assoc($query);
