Having trouble executing a SELECT query in a prepared statement

Question

Ive followed a bunch of different examples regarding using a SELECT in a prepared statement, but nothing is returned. EDIT I have changed my code a bit to look lik

Answer 1

I think you have to bind to the columns in bind_results() like

/* prepare statement */
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name LIMIT 5")) {
$stmt->execute();

/* bind variables to prepared statement */
$stmt->bind_result($col1, $col2);

/* fetch values */
while ($stmt->fetch()) {
    printf("%s %s\n", $col1, $col2);
}

Here $col1 and $col2 binds to Code and Name columns of Country table

(Instead of * in SELECT use the column names)
