mysqli_stmt::__construct — Constructs a new mysqli_stmt object

### Description

public mysqli_stmt::__construct(mysqli `$mysql`, ?string `$query` = `null`)

This method constructs a new mysqli_stmt object.

### Parameters

`link`

  A valid mysqli object.

`query`

  The query, as a string. If this parameter is `null`, then the constructor behaves identically to mysqli_stmt_init(), otherwise it behaves as per mysqli_prepare().

### Errors/Exceptions

If mysqli error reporting is enabled (`MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR`) and the requested operation fails, a warning is generated. If, in addition, the mode is set to `MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT`, a mysqli_sql_exception is thrown instead.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
8.0.0 | `query` is now nullable.
