In general, you should use either <span class="function"><a href="mysqli.prepare.html" class="function">mysqli_prepare()</a></span> or
<span class="function"><a href="mysqli.stmt-init.html" class="function">mysqli_stmt_init()</a></span> to create a

instantiating the object with <em>new mysqli_stmt</em>. This
method (and the ability to directly instantiate
<a href="class.mysqli-stmt.html" class="classname">mysqli_stmt</a> objects) may be deprecated and removed
in the future.
