How to retrieve single value from $stmt->get_result()

I'm trying to get a 1 or a 0 from the result, but how do I retrieve it and use it as a simple variable to compare with other variable? I want to use my variable $result_1 and check if it has the value of 1 or 0.

//
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT status FROM todo WHERE id=?");
$stmt->bind_param("i", $id);
$stmt->execute();
$result_1 = $stmt->get_result();
Solution

  • Take a look at the documentation http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.get-result.php

    In the examples it states that get_result() returns a result set. Which is basically a container for all the rows that came back. They can be aquired by the following procedure.

    $result = $stmt->get_result(); $row = $result->fetch_assoc(); $result_1 = $row['status'];

    My example assumes that data came back.
