Hi all,
I am currently working on a PHP project that involves using MySQL stored procedures. I have written a procedure that performs some calculations and returns a result. However, I'm not sure how to retrieve the output of the procedure in my PHP code. Can someone please guide me on how to do this?
Here's an example of the stored procedure I'm working with:
```
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `calculate_sum`(IN a INT, IN b INT, OUT result INT)
BEGIN
SET result = a + b;
END;
```
I have successfully executed this procedure in my code, but I don't know how to retrieve the value of the `result` parameter.
Any help or code snippets would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Best regards,

Hey folks,
I recently faced a similar dilemma while working on a PHP project involving MySQL stored procedures. Fortunately, I stumbled upon an effective way to retrieve the output of a procedure in PHP. Allow me to share my findings with you!
Once you have executed the stored procedure, you can utilize the mysqli extension in PHP for fetching the output. Here's how you can make it work:
1. Establish a connection to your MySQL database:
2. Prepare and execute the stored procedure:
3. Retrieve the output value:
In this approach, I used the `@result` variable declared as an output parameter in the stored procedure to store the result. After executing the procedure, I checked if it affected any rows. If it did, I fetched the value of `@result` using a separate query, and finally, I displayed the output value.
Give this method a shot in your code, and let me know if you need any further assistance or have any other queries.
