Is it possible to use mysqli_fetch_object with a prepared statement

Question

All the examples I see using mysqli_fetch_object use mysql_query(), I cannot get it to work with prepared statements. Does anyone know what is wrong with this c

Answer 1

This is the code I use to create an object from a prepared statement.
It could perhaps be used in a subclass of mysqli?

    $query = "SELECT * FROM category WHERE id = ?";
    $stmt = $this->_db->prepare($query);

    $value = 1;
    $stmt->bind_param("i", $value);

    $stmt->execute();

    // bind results to named array
    $meta = $stmt->result_metadata();
    $fields = $meta->fetch_fields();
    foreach($fields as $field) {
        $result[$field->name] = "";
        $resultArray[$field->name] = &$result[$field->name];
    }

    call_user_func_array(array($stmt, 'bind_result'), $resultArray);

    // create object of results and array of objects
    while($stmt->fetch()) {
        $resultObject = new stdClass();

        foreach ($resultArray as $key => $value) {
            $resultObject->$key = $value;
        }

        $rows[] = $resultObject;
    }

    $stmt->close();
