public function getdata($table) {     if ($table == "employers")     {     $stmt = $this->link->prepare("select * employers ");     }     else     {     $stmt = $this->link->prepare("select * members ");     }       $stmt->bind_param();     if ($stmt->execute())     {         $result = $stmt->get_result();         while($row = $result->fetch_array(mysqli_assoc))             {              $row = array_map('stripslashes', $row);             $dataarray[] = $row;             }     }      return $dataarray;       } 

no, since aren't binding anything, ->bind_param method superfluous. take off.

public function getdata($table) {     $dataarray = array();     $t = ($table === 'employers') ? 'employers' : 'members';     $query = "select * $t";     $stmt = $this->link->prepare($query);     if($stmt->execute()) {         $result = $stmt->get_result();         while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {             $row = array_map('stripslashes', $row);             $dataarray[] = $row;         }     }      return $dataarray; } 

sample usage:

$data = $aministrator_query->getdata('members'); $tbody = ''; foreach($data $row) {     $tbody .= "<tr><td>{$row['user_id']}</td><td>{$row['user_password']}</td><td>{$row['user_first_name']}</td><td>{$row['user_last_name']}</td></tr>"; } $table = sprintf('<table><thead><tr><th>id</th><th>password</th><th>first name</th><th>last name</th></tr></thead><tbody>%s</tbody></table>', $tbody); echo $table;
