Dynamically bind params in $bind_param(); Mysqli

Question

I have DB class which is dealing all queries will be made to database I have mysqli prepare working fine. bind_param is also working fine but the problem is I want to define va

Answer 1

Here is an example that could help ( prepare() function is a class method ).

function prepare( $query, $bind = array() )
{   
    if ( !$stmt = $this->mysqli->prepare( $query ) ) 
        throw new Exception( 'Query failed: ' . $query . PHP_EOL . $this->mysqli->error );  

    // if $bind is not an empty array shift the type element off the beginning and call stmt->bind_param() with variables to bind passed as reference
    if ( $type = array_shift( $bind ) )
        call_user_func_array( 
            array( $stmt, 'bind_param' ), 
            array_merge( array( $type ), array_map( function( &$item ) { return $item; }, $bind ) ) 
        );

    if ( !$stmt->execute() ) 
        throw new Exception( 'Execute failed: ' . PHP_EOL . $stmt->error );

    // choose what to return here ( 'affected_rows', 'insert_id', 'mysqli_result', 'stmt', 'array' ) 

}

Example of usage:

$db->prepare( "SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_name = ? OR user_email = ?", [ 'ss', $user_name, $user_name ] );
