for people who doesn't have the mysqlInd driver or for some reason just can't use the stmt->get_result, I've made this function which allows you to "mimic" the mysqli_result::fetch_assoc:
function fetchAssocStatement($stmt)
{
if($stmt->num_rows>0)
{
$result = array();
$md = $stmt->result_metadata();
$params = array();
while($field = $md->fetch_field()) {
$params[] = &$result[$field->name];
}
call_user_func_array(array($stmt, 'bind_result'), $params);
$stmt->fetch();
return $result;
}
return null;
}
you can use it in a while sentence to fetch and return an assoc array from the statement (as long as the statement is open):
usage:
$statement = $mysqli->prepare($query));
$statement.execute();
while($rowAssocArray = fetchAssocStatement($statement))
{
//do something
}
$statement.close();
hope this helps.
