Is there any way to print the actual query that mysqli->execute() makes?

Question

I have a complex query that gets executed like this:

if ($stmt = $dbi->prepare($pt_query)) {   
        $stmt->bind_param(\'ssssssssi\', $snome,$scogno         


        

Answer 1

If your statement is failing, you should check $stmt->error (as opposed to $dbi->error). As far as getting the actual text of the query: it's not possible. When using prepared statements, the library is using a special protocol that doesn't generate an actual query string for each ->execute() call.
