Php get_result() and fetch_assoc() alternative - php

Question

I am working on writing a PHP backend program, but my program doesn't work because PHP doesn't support the get_result() and fetch_assoc() function.
How can I rewrite the code so that they can work in the same way as this function?
public function storeUser($userLoginID, $password) {
$uuid = uniqid('', true);
$hash = $this->hashSSHA($password);
$encrypted_password = $hash["encrypted"];
$salt = $hash["salt"];
$stmt = $this->conn->prepare("INSERT INTO hkcheung.users(unique_id,userLoginID,encrypted_password,salt,created_at) VALUES (?,?,?,?,NOW())");
$stmt->bind_param("ssss", $uuid, $userLoginID, $encrypted_password, $salt);
$result = $stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
if ($result) {
$stmt = $this->conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM hkcheung.users WHERE userLoginID=?");
$stmt->bind_param("s", $userLoginID);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$users = $result->fetch_assoc();
$stmt->close();
return $users;
} else {
return false;
}
}

Answer 1

add below function to your php file
function get_result( $Statement ) {
$RESULT = array();
$Statement->store_result();
for ( $i = 0; $i < $Statement->num_rows; $i++ ) {
$Metadata = $Statement->result_metadata();
$PARAMS = array();
while ( $Field = $Metadata->fetch_field() ) {
$PARAMS[] = &$RESULT[ $i ][ $Field->name ];
}
call_user_func_array( array( $Statement, 'bind_result' ), $PARAMS );
$Statement->fetch();
}
return $RESULT;
}
and at the get_result line, change it to
$result = $this->get_result($stmt);
