mysqli_stmt_bind_result stmt->bind_result Binds variables to a prepared statement for result storage Procedural style: boolmysqli_stmt_bind_result mysqli_stmtstmt mixedvar1 mixed... Object oriented style (method): mysqli_stmt boolbind_result mixedvar1 mixed... mysqli_stmt_bind_result is used to associate (bind) columns in the result set to variables. When mysqli_stmt_fetch is called to fetch data, the MySQL client/server protocol places the data for the bound columns into the specified variables var1, .... Note that all columns must be bound prior to calling mysqli_stmt_fetch. Depending on column types bound variables can silently change to the corresponding PHP type. A column can be bound or rebound at any time, even after a result set has been partially retrieved. The new binding takes effect the next time mysqli_stmt_fetch is called. &reftitle.returnvalues; &return.success; &reftitle.seealso; mysqli_stmt_bind_param, mysqli_stmt_execute, mysqli_stmt_fetch, mysqli_prepare, mysqli_stmt_prepare, mysqli_stmt_init, mysqli_stmt_errno&listendand; mysqli_stmt_error. &reftitle.examples; prepare("SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name LIMIT 5")) { $stmt->execute(); /* bind variables to prepared statement */ $stmt->bind_result($col1, $col2); /* fetch values */ while ($stmt->fetch()) { printf("%s %s\n", $col1, $col2); } /* close statement */ $stmt->close(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?> ]]> ]]> &example.outputs;
