Req #72712 [NEW]: mysqli::bind_param is outdated - parameter binding should be by single array

From: conradbrinker at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 PHP version: 7.0.9 Package: MySQLi related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:mysqli::bind_param is outdated - parameter binding should be by single array Description: ------------ MySQLi::bind_param() is still stuck in the old days. We should not have to use call_user_func_array() to bind a referenced array of data to a prepared statement. MySQLi::bind_param() should be like PDO in that we should at least be able to pass a PHP array to it as the second parameter and it will process the request accordingly.
