Prepared mysqli select statement on longtext field is coming back empty

Question

I\'ve got a database query function that works well -- except that I\'m running into what\'s apparently a known issue with mysqli prepared statements and longtext fields. W

Answer 1

I managed to solve the same issue by calling mysqli_stmt_store_result before binding the data.

Someone had the same problem and shared the answer on the php.net website:

Apparently, if you have longtext present, you HAVE to call store_result before using bind_result.
