in order to use bind_result() you can't use queries that SELECT *.

instead, you must select individual column names, then bind the results in the same order. here's an example:

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT foo, bar, what, why FROM table_name WHERE id = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("i", $id);
if($stmt->execute()) {
    $stmt->bind_result($foo, $bar, $what, $why);
    if($stmt->fetch()) {
        $stmt->close();
    }else{
        //error binding result(no rows??)
    }
}else{
    //error with query
}
