PHP and MySQL 5.0 stored procedures

Hi all, I'm new to PHP, but have been doing a lot of work with the MySQL 5.0 alphas looking at the stored procedure implementation. I wanted to work with stored procedures in the PHP mysqli interface, but it doesn't seem to be ready for them yet. The things I want to do with stored procedures that I can't seem to do yet are: * Create a prepared statement based on "call stored proc" (I get 'This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet') * Retrieve the value of an OUT parameter from a stored procedure. Eg, after I execute the stored procedure I should be able to look into a variable bound to the stored procedure and see the value put in there by the stored procedure. * Retrieve multiple result sets from the stored procedure. Stored procedures can return any number of result sets, so I'm looking for somthing like the multi_query call to operate against a prepared statement. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is any activity around getting mysqli ready for 5.0, and if there is any advanced info about how it might work. Thanks, Guy guy.a.harrison@gmail.com
