php - Return multiple row without the use of mysqlnd -

i dont have mysqlnd available, implemented helper function job:

public function bind_array($stmt, &$row) {

    $md = $stmt->result_metadata();          var_dump($md);     $params = array();      while($field = $md->fetch_field())      {         $params[] = &$row[$field->name];     }     call_user_func_array(array($stmt, 'bind_result'), $params); } 

the trouble is, need able return multiple rows. of can return single row.

thanks....

edit: im aiming getting same result when calling mysqli fetch_assoc, not available me, dont have mysqlnd... array afterwards json_encoded ..

in fact, pdo way easier mysqli mysqlnd.

you can try my wrapper pdo can make better original class - it's incredible simple in use, combining simplicity of old mysql functions power , safety of prepared statements.

say, multiple results wull need one single line of code, opposite several screens in case of mysqli or half-dozen when using old mysql functions:

$sql  = 'select return, fields  table search_field = ?'; $data = db:prepare($sql)->execute([$search_val])->fetchall(); 

now $data contains desired result can iterate over

foreach ($data $row) {      echo $row['fields']; } 

just define 4 constants db credentials somewhere , you'll able use database anywhere in code, old mysql ext used be.
