I am unable to comment currently, so I am just providing an answer. When you run a prepared statement that queries the database for a result, it will not execute another query unless you remove the current result it is storing. $result = $stmt->get_result(). Secondly, If you will need the result from the first query to be saved so that you use it later, then I recommend using two result sets. The first stores the result from the first execution of $stmt and the second for the second execution. This might not answer the question directly, but it may help someone.
