Possible to use multiple/nested MySQLi statements?
mysql, mysqli, php
Solution
You should be able to do that, although you make have to start a second connection.
Problem
Is it possible to have a `MySQLi prepared statement` within the `fetch()` call of a previous statement? If not, what's the best way around it? Example code: ``` if($stmt = $link->prepare("SELECT item FROM data WHERE id = ?")) { $stmt->bind_param("i", $id); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bind_result($item); while( $stmt->fetch() ) { /* Other code here */ $itemSummary = $item + $magic; if($stmt2 = $link->prepare("INSERT INTO summaries (itemID, summary) VALUES (?, ?)")) { $stmt2->bind_param("is", $itemID, $itemSummary); $stmt2->execute(); $stmt2->close(); } } } ```
