How to fetch assoc array while using mysqli prepare - php

Question

To make sure my database is secure I'm using prepare statements. Here is my code:
//connecting to MySql database
$con=mysqli_connect("host","user","pass","dbname");
// checking database connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno($con)){
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($con,"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE emb=? LIMIT 1");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 's', $emb);
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
Now I want to know how can I use ASSOC fetch array
$embInfo = mysqli_fetch_array($stmt, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
I want this so that I can just put something like below to get values
$embInfo['name']
and
$embInfo['email']

May i suggest an alternative
{
$server = '';
$user = '';
$pass = '';
$db = '';
// connect to the database
$mysqli = new mysqli($server, $user, $pass, $db);
// show errors (remove this line if on a live site)
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR);
$club=$_POST'club'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM players WHERE club = '$club'";
$result=mysqli_query($mysqli,$sql);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['player'];
}
}
