i corresponding variable has type integer
d corresponding variable has type double
s corresponding variable has type string
b corresponding variable is a blob and will be sent in packets

var1

The number of variables and length of string types must match the parameters in the statement.

Examples

Example#1 Object oriented style

<?php
$mysqli 
= new mysqli('localhost''my_user''my_password''world');

/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    
printf("Connect failed: %s\n"mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$stmt $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO CountryLanguage VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param('sssd'$code$language$official$percent);

$code 'DEU';
$language 'Bavarian';
$official "F";
$percent 11.2;

/* execute prepared statement */
$stmt->execute();

printf("%d Row inserted.\n"$stmt->affected_rows);

/* close statement and connection */
$stmt->close();

/* Clean up table CountryLanguage */
$mysqli->query("DELETE FROM CountryLanguage WHERE Language='Bavarian'");
printf("%d Row deleted.\n"$mysqli->affected_rows);

/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>

Example#2 Procedural style

<?php
$link 
mysqli_connect('localhost''my_user''my_password''world');

/* check connection */
if (!$link) {
    
printf("Connect failed: %s\n"mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$stmt mysqli_prepare($link"INSERT INTO CountryLanguage VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt'sssd'$code$language$official$percent);

$code 'DEU';
$language 'Bavarian';
$official "F";
$percent 11.2;

/* execute prepared statement */
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);

printf("%d Row inserted.\n"mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt));

/* close statement and connection */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);

/* Clean up table CountryLanguage */
mysqli_query($link"DELETE FROM CountryLanguage WHERE Language='Bavarian'");
printf("%d Row deleted.\n"mysqli_affected_rows($link));

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

The above example will output:

1 Row inserted. 1 Row deleted.
