Can you tell me what MySQL and PHP versions you're using? Is it really
a CVS version/development snapshot that you're using?
Thanks!

Description:
------------
Hello,
As you can see in the code below, binding to $value['id'] will not work
because $value is a variable generated by the foreach loop. Using a
dimensional variable as a parameter causes no bugs outside a foreach
loop, so I'm pretty sure it really is a bug.
$arr = array(array('id' => 1));
$stmt = $dbh -> prepare('SELECT member_login FROM members WHERE
member_id = ?;');
$stmt -> bind_param('i', $value['id']);
foreach($arr as $value){
echo $value['id']; //this will output 1 as expected
$stmt -> execute();
$stmt -> bind_result($login);
while($stmt -> fetch()){
echo $login; //this will output nothing
}
}
Reproduce code:
---------------
The code I've given in description pretty much says it all !
For a quick and global understanding of the situation, I've also put a
summary of what works, what does not work, and the workaround I've been
using so far. Check it here :
http://trombiaudencia2.free.fr/bug.txt
Actual result:
--------------
Just to let you know, in my application, the real bind_param line
looked like :
$stmt -> bind_param('si', $_POST['members'][$value['id']]['login'],
$value['id']);
and in that case, php told me :
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in E:\Program
Files\EasyPHP\www\create_quiz_ajaxrequests.php on line 368
which is due to the second parameter, the first one does not create any
warning at all. Strange, because you'll see that in the simplified
example I've given above, no error message is displayed at all.
I use loops all the time so to me, it's reeaaally a down side for
MySQLi not to be able to bind parameters. I have been using PDO for a
while and heard MySQLi had better performances, but this kinda cools me
down :( Maybe I'll wait a bit until this bug is fixed before I migrate
to MySQLi.
Thank you very much !!
Evangun
