I've created these functions which will act like mysqli_fetch_array() and mysqli_fetch_object() but work with bound results.
<?php
function fetch_object() {
$data = mysqli_stmt_result_metadata($this->stmt);
$count = 1; //start the count from 1. First value has to be a reference to stmt.
$fieldnames[0] = &$this->stmt;
$obj = new stdClass;
while ($field = mysqli_fetch_field($data)) {
$fn = $field->name; //get all the feild names
$fieldnames[$count] = &$obj->$fn; //load the fieldnames into an object..
$count++;
}
call_user_func_array(mysqli_stmt_bind_result, $fieldnames);
mysqli_stmt_fetch($this->stmt);
return $obj;
}
function fetch_array() {
$data = mysqli_stmt_result_metadata($this->stmt);
$count = 1; //start the count from 1. First value has to be a reference to the stmt. because bind_param requires the link to $stmt as the first param.
$fieldnames[0] = &$this->stmt;
while ($field = mysqli_fetch_field($data)) {
$fieldnames[$count] = &$array[$field->name]; //load the fieldnames into an array.
$count++;
}
call_user_func_array(mysqli_stmt_bind_result, $fieldnames);
mysqli_stmt_fetch($this->stmt);
return $array;
}
?>
Hope this helps some people, I was puzzled by this for a while.
