I can't seem to get this statement or statements alike to work with prepared queries, the code works just fine below:
$DBH = getDBH();
$stmt = $DBH->prepare("SELECT a.id, a.title, a.photo FROM tag t INNER JOIN tag_reference atx ON t.tag_id = atx.tag_id
INNER JOIN articles a
ON atx.article_id = a.id
WHERE t.tag_name = 'example'");
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($id,$title,$photo);
$stmt->fetch();
but when I change t.tag_name = '?'
it gives me an error that the amount of parameters do not match. This is the statement that does not work.
$DBH = getDBH();
$stmt = $DBH->prepare("SELECT a.id, a.title, a.photo FROM tag t INNER JOIN tag_reference atx ON t.tag_id = atx.tag_id
INNER JOIN articles a
ON atx.article_id = a.id
WHERE t.tag_name = '?'");
$stmt->bind_param('s',$example);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($id,$title,$photo);
$stmt->fetch();
Can anyone please help?
