This parameter (and presumably any other parameter in mysqli_stmt) will raise an error with the message "Property access is not allowed yet" if the statement was not prepared properly, or not prepared at all.
To prevent this, always ensure that the return value of the "prepare" statement is true before accessing these properties.
mysqli_stmt->param_count
mysqli_stmt_param_count
(PHP 5)
mysqli_stmt->param_count -- mysqli_stmt_param_count — Returns the number of parameter for the given statement
Description
Object oriented style (property):
int $param_count;
Procedural style:
int mysqli_stmt_param_count
( mysqli_stmt $stmt
)
Returns the number of parameter markers present in the prepared statement.
Return Values
Returns an integer representing the number of parameters.
Examples
Example #1 Object oriented style
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT Name FROM Country WHERE Name=? OR Code=?")) {
$marker = $stmt->param_count;
printf("Statement has %d markers.\n", $marker);
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
Example #2 Procedural style
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "SELECT Name FROM Country WHERE Name=? OR Code=?")) {
$marker = mysqli_stmt_param_count($stmt);
printf("Statement has %d markers.\n", $marker);
/* close statement */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above example will output:
Statement has 2 markers.
