mysqli_stmt::__construct Constructs a new mysqli_stmt object &reftitle.description; mysqli_stmt::__construct mysqlilink stringquery This method constructs a new mysqli_stmt object. In general, you should use either mysqli_prepare or mysqli_stmt_init to create a mysqli_stmt object, rather than directly instantiating the object with new mysqli_stmt. This method (and the ability to directly instantiate mysqli_stmt objects) may be deprecated and removed in the future. &reftitle.parameters; &mysqli.link.description; query The query, as a string. If this parameter is omitted, then the constructor behaves identically to mysqli_stmt_init, if provided, then it behaves as per mysqli_prepare. &reftitle.seealso; mysqli_prepare mysqli_stmt_init
