MySQL Error - Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now

Question

I am using MySQL with PHP, Codeigniter. I had a question which was answered by bluefeet in the post here

I created a stored procedure for the second solution by blue

Answer 1

Got the Answer! It seems like codeigniter's mysql driver has bugs handling stored procedures.

I changed the drivers from mysql to mysqli in the config/database file by changing

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';

to

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysqli';

Post that i modified the system/database/drivers/mysqli/mysqli_result.php file and added the below function

function next_result()
{
  if (is_object($this->conn_id))
  {
      return mysqli_next_result($this->conn_id);
  }
}

and modified the model as below

$db = $this->load->database('mailbox',TRUE);
$qry_res = $db->query('Call circle_pending_p()');

echo $db->_error_message();
$res = $qry_res->result_array();

$qry_res->next_result();
$qry_res->free_result();

if (count($res) > 0) {
      return $res;
} else {
      return 0;
}

This solved the problem!
