There is an error in php

Answer 1

You have 4 ? parameters and you are binding only one value

$stmt->bind_param("s", $param_term); 

This should be

$stmt->bind_param("ssss", $param_term,
                        $param_term,
                        $param_term,
                        $param_term); 

so that each parameter ? gets a value.

Also the query will need bracket to work correctly like this

WHERE (Name LIKE ? 
    OR Code LIKE ? 
    OR Date LIKE ? 
    OR Inserter LIKE ? ) 
AND ID = '2'

Answer 2

If you want to transfer strictly one copy of parameter into the query (assuming that you search the same pattern) you may use

SELECT * 
FROM datatable 
WHERE CONCAT_WS(CHAR(X), Name,Code,Date,Inserter) LIKE ? 
AND ID = '2'

where CHAR(x) is any char which cannot be found in a field or in a pattern.
