Unbuffered queries in MySQLi?

Question

Are MySQLi queries unbuffered? If not, is there a way to perform unbuffered queries, just like non-MySQLi mysql_unbuffered_query()?

Answer 1

MindStalker is right, but perhaps the easiest way is the one shown in the PHP manual
http: //php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.concepts.buffering.php

Passing the MYSQLI_USE_RESULT constant as the resultmode parameter, you can set mysqli_query to be used as mysql_unbuffered_query

query("SELECT Name FROM City", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT);

if ($uresult) {
   while ($row = $uresult->fetch_assoc()) {
       echo $row['Name'] . PHP_EOL;
   }
}
$uresult->close();
?>

Answer 2

mysqli_real_query() back mysqli_use_result()
