I wrote a function that fetches all rows from a result set - either normal or prepared.
<?php
function fetch($result)
{
$array = array();
if($result instanceof mysqli_stmt)
{
$result->store_result();
$variables = array();
$data = array();
$meta = $result->result_metadata();
while($field = $meta->fetch_field())
$variables[] = &$data[$field->name]; // pass by reference
call_user_func_array(array($result, 'bind_result'), $variables);
$i=0;
while($result->fetch())
{
$array[$i] = array();
foreach($data as $k=>$v)
$array[$i][$k] = $v;
$i++;
// don't know why, but when I tried $array[] = $data, I got the same one result in all rows
}
}
elseif($result instanceof mysqli_result)
{
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
$array[] = $row;
}
return $array;
}
?>
Simply call it passing a result set or executed statement and you'll get all rows fetched.
