How to call a MySQL stored procedure from within PHP code?

I now found solution by using mysqli instead of mysql.

<?php 

// enable error reporting
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
//connect to database
$connection = mysqli_connect("hostname", "user", "password", "db", "port");

//run the store proc
$result = mysqli_query($connection, "CALL StoreProcName");

//loop the result set
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){     
  echo $row[0] . " - " . + $row[1]; 
}

I found that many people seem to have a problem with using mysql_connect, mysql_query and mysql_fetch_array.

You can call a stored procedure using the following syntax:

$result = mysql_query('CALL getNodeChildren(2)');

This is my solution with prepared statements and stored procedure is returning several rows not only one value.

<?php

require 'config.php';
header('Content-type:application/json');
$connection->set_charset('utf8');

$mIds = $_GET['ids'];

$stmt = $connection->prepare("CALL sp_takes_string_returns_table(?)");
$stmt->bind_param("s", $mIds);

$stmt->execute();

$result = $stmt->get_result();
$response = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
echo json_encode($response);

$stmt->close();
$connection->close();

<?php
    $res = mysql_query('SELECT getTreeNodeName(1) AS result');
    if ($res === false) {
        echo mysql_errno().': '.mysql_error();
    }
    while ($obj = mysql_fetch_object($res)) {
        echo $obj->result;
    }
