    'world'
);

if (!$link) {
    printf("Невозможно подключиться к базе данных. Код ошибки: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit;
}

if ($result = mysqli_query($link, 'SELECT Name, Population FROM City ORDER BY Population DESC LIMIT 5')) {

    print("Очень крупные города:\n");

    while( $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result) ){
        printf("%s (%s)\n", $row['Name'], $row['Population']);
    }

    mysqli_free_result($result);
}
