Php mysqi bind_param Number of variables doesn't match number of parameters in prepared statement [duplicate]
This has to be a newbie mistake, but I'm not seeing it. Here is a snippet from my code:
$mysqli = mysqli_connect($dbCredentials['hostname'],
$dbCredentials['username'], $dbCredentials['password'],
$dbCredentials['database']);
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
throw new exception( 'Connect Error (' . $mysqli->connect_errno . ') '
. $mysqli->connect_error);
}
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT DISTINCT model FROM vehicle_types
WHERE year = ? AND make = '?' ORDER by model");
$stmt->bind_param('is', $year, $make);
$stmt->execute();
When I echo out the values for $year and $make, I am seeing values, but when I run this script, I get a null value, and the following warning appears in my log file:
PHP Warning: mysqli_stmt::bind_param(): Number of variables doesn't match number of parameters in prepared statement
In this case, year is in the database in type int(10), and I have tried passing a copy that had been cast as an int, and make is a varchar(20) with the utf8_unicode_ci encoding. Am I missing something?
Solution 1:
Your prepared statement is wrong, it should be:
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT DISTINCT model FROM vehicle_types WHERE year = ? AND make = ? ORDER by model");
The single quotes made that ? be the value not a marker. It will already be a string because you are casting as such with bind_param('is'
