PHP - Php Mysql Stored Procedure Getting Number Of Rows Returned

 wrote a stored procedure this morning and i don’t know how to get the values out of it through a class function in php or phpmyadmin.

here is what i wrote :

public function totalProcedures($friend_name,$session_id) 
{ /* *query to fetch stored procedure */ 
try { 
//executing the stored procedure 
$sql_sp="CALL timeline (:friend, :session,@updates, @group_posts)";
$stmt_sp= $this->_db->prepare($sql_sp); 
$stmt_sp->bindValue(":friend",$friend_name);
$stmt_sp->bindValue(":session",$session_id); 
$stmt_sp->execute();
$rows=$stmt_sp->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); 
$stmt_sp->closeCursor(); // closing the stored procedure 
//trying to get values from OUT parameters.
$stmt_sp_2=$this->_db->prepare("select @updates,@group_posts");
$stmt_sp_2->execute();
return $stmt_sp_2->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
} catch (PDOException $ei)
{
echo $ei->getMessage(); } 
}

can someone helpme how to get results.

here is the storedprocedu

DELIMITER $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `timeline`(IN `friend` VARCHAR(255), IN `session_id` VARCHAR(255), OUT `updates` VARCHAR(62555), OUT `group_posts` VARCHAR(62555))
BEGIN


select * FROM updates where author in (friend,session_id)  order by time desc limit 5;



select * FROM group_posts where author_gp in (friend,session_id) order by pdate desc limit 5;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

i get the result in php myadmin as follows:

 how do i do this inside a php class function.

CALL timeline('shan2batman','aboutthecreator', @updates, @group_posts);

<?php


if($conn = mssql_connect('host', 'user', 'pass')) echo 'Connected to SQLEXPRESS<BR>';
if(mssql_select_db("database",$conn)) echo 'Selected DB: SomeDatabase<BR>';

$variable1=something;

$sql_statement =  mssql_init("stored_procedure1 '$variable1'", $conn);
$result=mssql_execute($sql_statement);

$x=0;

while ($row = mssql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {
    $column2[$x]= $row['column2'];
    $column1= $row['column1'];
    
$x++; }

    
echo "Value 1: $column1      </br>";
echo "Value 2: $column2[0]  </br>";
echo "Value 3: $column2[1]  </br>";
echo "Value 4: $column2[2]  </br>";
echo "Value 5: $column2[3]  </br>";
echo "Value 6: $column2[4]  </br>";
echo "Value 7: $column2[5]  </br>";


mssql_free_statement($sql_statement);



$sql_statement =  mssql_init("stored_procedure2 '$variable1'", $conn);
$result=mssql_execute($sql_statement);


$x=0;

while ($row = mssql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {
    $someval1[$x]= $row['somecolumn1'];
    $someval2[$x]= $row['somecolumn2'];
    $someval3= $row['somecolumn3'];
    $someval4= $row['somecolumn4'];
    $someval5= $row['somecolumn5'];
    $someval6= $row['somecolumn6'];

$x++; }

    
echo "Something1: $someval1[0]</br>";
echo "Something2: $someval3 </br>";
echo "Something3: $someval2[0] </br>";
echo "Something4: $someval4 </br>";
echo "Something5: $someval6 </br>";
echo "Something6: $someval5 </br>";


mssql_free_statement($sql_statement);


$sql_statement =  mssql_init("stored_procedure3 '$variable1'", $conn);
$result=mssql_execute($sql_statement);


$x=0;

while ($row = mssql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {
    $somevaluecheck= $row['somecolumncheck'];

$x++; }
    
echo "SomethingCheck: $somevaluecheck </br>";


mssql_free_statement($sql_statement);

Hi All,

I'm hitting brick walls while trying to run a stored procedure query with PDO (linking to MSSQL)

If I run the query from SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) I get a result every time (one single row is returned, as expected) - I'm placing the same query into PHP without any dynamic variables etc - its just a straight query... when it runs the query in PDO it fails every time with this error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: The active result for the query contains no fields.' in index.php:195
Stack trace:
#0 index.php(195): PDOStatement->fetch(2)
#1 {main}
  thrown in index.php on line 195

The code is as follows:

	$SQLSTMTA="exec pEmployeeGetData @EmployeeID='1',@Year='2020'";
	$STHA = $DBH2->prepare($SQLSTMTA);
	//$STH->bindParam(':EMPID', $EmployeeID);
	$STHA->execute();
		while($result = $STHA->fetchAll()) {              //(row 195)
		var_dump($result);
	}

I've also tried a few variations on the above such as ->Fetch (as opposed to FetchAll) without any luck.

Any ideas on how I can get around this?

Thanks in Advance!
