"Warning: mysqli_stmt_bind_param() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, boolean given in"

Question

I'm getting these warnings from web host which contains my database. I'm trying to get an Android app developed in Android Studio to send data from a Register user activity to a database. I think I'm having a PHP Script error.

Below is my PHP code for registering user:

<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "user", "pass", "db");

if (isset($_POST["name"], $_POST["email"], $_POST["username"], $_POST["password"])) 
{
$name =     $_POST["name"];
$email =    $_POST["email"];
$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
}

$statement = mysqli_prepare($con, "INSERT INTO user (name, username, email, password) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($statement, "siss", $name, $username, $email, $password);
mysqli_stmt_execute($statement);

$response = array();
$response["success"] = true;  

echo json_encode($response);
?>

`echo mysqli_error($con);` to see the specific SQL error. Try pasting your table schema too. — ishegg, Sep 08 '17 at 02:50
@AlivetoDie okay I understand. And I corrected it now and the errors have gone, just seeing if my android code works accordingly now :D, the web request is showing no errors or warnings now thanks to you. — Reaper, Sep 08 '17 at 03:20
@AlivetoDie however the andorid part is still not working.. :( — Reaper, Sep 08 '17 at 03:25
Change message part like this:- `if(mysqli_stmt_execute($statement)){ $response["success"] = true; }else{ $response["success"] = false; } echo json_encode($response);` (i changed according to uour original-one) and check your now — Alive to die - Anant, Sep 08 '17 at 04:02

You have check for errors:-

<?php
    //comment these two lines when code started working fine
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors',1);

    $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "id2833909_split421", "pass123", "id2833909_splitw");

    /* check connection */
    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
        printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
        exit();
    }

    if (isset($_POST["name"], $_POST["email"], $_POST["username"], $_POST["password"])) {
        $name =     $_POST["name"];
        $email =    $_POST["email"];
        $username = $_POST["username"];
        $password = $_POST["password"];
        $statement = mysqli_prepare($con, "INSERT INTO `user` (`name`, `username`, `email`, `password`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
        mysqli_stmt_bind_param($statement, "ssss", $name, $username, $email, $password); // i need to be s
        $response = array();
        if(mysqli_stmt_execute($statement)){
            $response["message"] = "success";  
        }else{
            $response["message"] = "error";  
        }
        echo json_encode($response);
    }
?>
