Retrieving Multiple Result sets with stored procedure in php/mysqli

I have a stored procedure that has multiple result sets. How do I advance to the 2nd result set in mysqli to get those results?

Let's say it's a stored proc like:

create procedure multiples( param1 INT, param2 INT )
BEGIN

SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id = param1;

SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE id = param2;

END $$

The PHP is something like this:

$stmt = mysqli_prepare($db, 'CALL multiples(?, ?)');

mysqli_stmt_bind_param( $stmt, 'ii', $param1, $param2 );

mysqli_stmt_execute( $stmt );

mysqli_stmt_bind_result( $stmt, $id );

Then this is the part I can't get to work. I've tried using mysqli_next_result to move to the next result set, but can't get it to work. We did get it to work with mysqli_store_result and mysqli_fetch_assoc/array/row, but for some reason all the ints get returned as blank strings.

Any one else come across this and have a solution?

This has worked really well for me, it will deal with (as an example) as many Select Lists as there are in your SP. Note how you have to close the $call BEFORE you can then get to the OUT parameters from your SP...

?><pre><?
$call = mysqli_prepare($db, 'CALL test_lists(?, ?, @result)');
if($call == false) {
    echo "mysqli_prepare (\$db, 'CALL test_lists(?, ?, @result) FAILED!!!\n";
} else {
    // A couple of example IN parameters for your SP...
    $s_1 = 4;
    $s_2 = "Hello world!";

    // Here we go (safer way of avoiding SQL Injections)...
    mysqli_stmt_bind_param($call, 'is', $s_1, $s_2);

    // Make the call...
    if(mysqli_stmt_execute($call) == false) {
        echo "mysqli_stmt_execute(\$call) FAILED!!!\n";
    } else {
        //print_r($call);

        // Loop until we run out of Recordsets...
        $set = 0;
        while ($recordset = mysqli_stmt_get_result($call)) {
            ++$set;
            //print_r($recordset);
            echo "\nRecordset #" . $set . "...\n";
            if ($recordset->num_rows > 0) {
                $ctr = 0;
                while ($row = $recordset->fetch_assoc()) {
                    ++$ctr;
                    //print_r($row);
                    echo "\t" . $ctr . ": ";
                    forEach($row as $key => $val) {
                        echo "[" . $key . "] " . $val . "\t";
                    }
                    echo "\n";
                }
            }
            echo $recordset->num_rows . " record" . ($recordset->num_rows == 1 ? "" : "s") . ".\n";
            // Clean up, ready for next iteration...
            mysqli_free_result($recordset);

            // See if we can get another Recordset...
            mysqli_stmt_next_result($call);
        }

        // Then you have to close the $call...
        mysqli_stmt_close($call);
        // ...in order to get to the SP's OUT parameters...
        $select = mysqli_query($db, "SELECT @result");
        $row = mysqli_fetch_row($select);
        $result = $row[0];
        echo "\nOUT @result = " . $result . "\n";
    }
}

And this is what the output from the above code looks like using my test_lists SP...

Recordset #1...
    1: [s_1] 4  [user_name] Andrew Foster   
    2: [s_1] 4  [user_name] Cecil   
    3: [s_1] 4  [user_name] Sheff   
3 records.

Recordset #2...
    1: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] The Law   
    2: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] History   
    3: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] Wisdom Literature 
    4: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] The Prophets  
    5: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] The Life of Jesus and the Early Church    
    6: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] Letters from the Apostle Paul 
    7: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] Other Letters from Apostles and Prophets  
    8: [s_2] Hello world!   [section_description] Prophecy - warnings for the present and revelation of the future  
8 records.

OUT @result = 16
