MySQLi get_result() undefined when mysqlnd is installed

Question

I am writing a simple test script to get my head around MySQLi prepared statements. This script will become the basis for a function that needs to be slightly dynamic in its handling of results. I need the fetch method to return as an array similar to how mysql_fetch_array() behaves.

I am aware some of these methods require mysqlnd. I have checked phpinfo. Mysqlnd is installed and present. See screenshot. enter image description here

Please note, PDO is available on my server, but I need to get this script working with MySQLi at this time.! PDO will be researched later in this project.

require_once(__ROOT__ . '/config.inc.php');

$mysqli = new mysqli($config['db']['server'], $config['db']['username'], $config['db']['password'], $config['db']['database_name']);
$userid = 10;

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT username, firstname, lastname FROM maj_user WHERE user_id < ?");

if ($stmt)
{
    /* bind parameters for markers */
    $stmt->bind_param('i', $userid);

    /* execute query */
    $stmt->execute();
    $result = $stmt->get_result();

    while ($row = $result->fetch_array())
    {
        echo 'We selected "' . $row['username'] . ' (' . $row['firstname'] . ' ' . $row['lastname'] . ')"' . PHP_EOL;
    }

    $result->close();
}

$mysqli->close();

The above code result in:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method mysqli_stmt::get_result() in /path/to/public_html/_test.php on line 25

Php.net says Mysqlnd needs to be present, but that clearly isn't the whole story. What else am I missing?

The question is: Why are some of my MySQLi methods undefined when mysqlnd is installed? — Tanoro
stackoverflow.com/a/8343970 after Goo-gah-ling "Call to undefined method mysqli_stmt::get_result()" — Funk Forty Niner
What's your PHP version? mysqli_stmt::get_resultis only available in PHP 5.3 or newer. — Gerald Schneider
And please show the portion of the phpinfo() output which relates to mysqli itself (which probably comes right before the mysqlnd section). It should show whether the client library is mysqlnd or mysql (for some reason) I'm not sure it's even possible for both to be loaded though. The <5.3 issue is more likely. — Michael Berkowski

I believe the answer lies in your mysqlnd output.

You only have the extension for PDO installed (pdo_mysql), but there is another extension for mysqli (ext/mysqli)

Here are instructions on installing with mysqli API extension

./configure --with-mysql=mysqlnd \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd \
[other options]

And some more information on the extensions.
