This parameter (and presumably any other parameter in mysqli_stmt) will raise an error with the message "Property access is not allowed yet" if the statement was not prepared properly, or not prepared at all.
To prevent this, always ensure that the return value of the "prepare" statement is true before accessing these properties.

Example #1 Object-oriented style
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT Name FROM Country WHERE Name=? OR Code=?")) {
$marker = $stmt->param_count;
printf("Statement has %d markers.\n", $marker);
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>Example #2 Procedural style
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "SELECT Name FROM Country WHERE Name=? OR Code=?")) {
$marker = mysqli_stmt_param_count($stmt);
printf("Statement has %d markers.\n", $marker);
/* close statement */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>The above examples will output:
