MySQLi get_result() undefined when mysqlnd is installed

Question

I am writing a simple test script to get my head around MySQLi prepared statements. This script will become the basis for a function that needs to be slightly dynamic in its handling of results. I need the fetch method to return as an array similar to how mysql_fetch_array() behaves.

I am aware some of these methods require mysqlnd. I have checked phpinfo. Mysqlnd is installed and present. See screenshot.

Please note, PDO is available on my server, but I need to get this script working with MySQLi at this time.! PDO will be researched later in this project.

require_once(__ROOT__ . '/config.inc.php');

$mysqli = new mysqli($config['db']['server'], $config['db']['username'], $config['db']['password'], $config['db']['database_name']);
$userid = 10;

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT username, firstname, lastname FROM maj_user WHERE user_id < ?");

if ($stmt)
{
    /* bind parameters for markers */
    $stmt->bind_param('i', $userid);

    /* execute query */
    $stmt->execute();
    $result = $stmt->get_result();

    while ($row = $result->fetch_array())
    {
        echo 'We selected "' . $row['username'] . ' (' . $row['firstname'] . ' ' . $row['lastname'] . ')"' . PHP_EOL;
    }

    $result->close();
}

$mysqli->close();

The above code result in:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method mysqli_stmt::get_result() in /path/to/public_html/_test.php on line 25

Php.net says Mysqlnd needs to be present, but that clearly isn't the whole story. What else am I missing?

Answer 1

I believe the answer lies in your mysqlnd output.

You only have the extension for PDO installed (pdo_mysql), but there is another extension for mysqli (ext/mysqli)

Here are instructions on installing with mysqli API extension

./configure --with-mysql=mysqlnd \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd \
[other options]

And some more information on the extensions.
