My version of php does not have the mysterious $stmt->get_result()
method. Without that, I can't see my path to getting an assoc array
back from a fetch after doing '?' wildcard parameter binding.

The bind_result() method is too tedious to maintain when a table
with a large number of fields is queried and the structure of the
table is under development.

Now, I'm kludging this together using call_user_func_array() and
stuffing variable references into the argument array, but it's
pretty awkward. Maybe this is why get_result() was invented,
although the docs say that it may only be in SVN, and my php
does not have it.


Thanks!

http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.requirements.php
says:
The mysqli extension is designed to work with MySQL version 4.1.13 or
newer, or 5.0.7 or newer. For previous versions, please see the MySQL
extension documentation.

if your version of PHP is 4.x than its old.....

BTW, what version Do you have ?

http://es2.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.get-result.php

«(No version information available, might only be in SVN)»

It looks that no version of PHP has that feature yet.

That's one of the reasons why many of use hate the mysqli extension: it
only supports associative arrays in result sets when you *don't* use
prepared statements. Your only options are:

1. Stick to mysqli and use numeric arrays.
2. Switch to another extension like PDO.

Or don't use prepared statements and escape the strings yourself.
