The documentation might be a bit in error. In normal, prepare,
bind, execute method of doing queries usually returns true/false or
a result handle.
true/false if it is an action query ie insert, update, delete
or a result handle when using select or a stored procedure that
returns a resultset.
So going by that logic you should be able to do something like:
$result = $stmt->execute();
which should be a mysqli_result class if the query executed
properly.
I havn't touched mysqli stuff but hopefully that will help with
something.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
