• mysqli_stmt::store_result

  mysqli_stmt_store_result

  Transfers a result set from a prepared statement

Description

Object oriented style

public bool mysqli_stmt::store_result();

Procedural style

bool mysqli_stmt_store_result(mysqli_stmt stmt);

You must call mysqli_stmt_store_result for every query that successfully produces a result set (SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN), if and only if you want to buffer the complete result set by the client, so that the subsequent mysqli_stmt_fetch call returns buffered data.

Note

It is unnecessary to call mysqli_stmt_store_result for other queries, but if you do, it will not harm or cause any notable performance loss in all cases. You can detect whether the query produced a result set by checking if mysqli_stmt_result_metadata returns false.

Parameters

stmt

Procedural style only: A statement identifier returned by mysqli_stmt_init.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Examples

Example 7.110 Object oriented style

<?php
/* Open a connection */
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY Name LIMIT 20";
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) {
    /* execute query */
    $stmt->execute();
    /* store result */
    $stmt->store_result();
    printf("Number of rows: %d.\n", $stmt->num_rows);
    /* free result */
    $stmt->free_result();
    /* close statement */
    $stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>

Example 7.111 Procedural style

<?php
/* Open a connection */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY Name LIMIT 20";
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) {
    /* execute query */
    mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
    /* store result */
    mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
    printf("Number of rows: %d.\n", mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt));
    /* free result */
    mysqli_stmt_free_result($stmt);
    /* close statement */
    mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

The above examples will output:

Number of rows: 20.
