storing this object in ANY kind will result in storing an empty object... if you try to serialize it dump it or do anything with it you will end up with a empty object.
you have to pull all data out f the object and then store the data... no other way.
The mysqli_result class
(PHP 5)
Introduction
Represents the result set obtained from a query against the database.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 5.4.0 | Iterator support was added, as mysqli_result now implements Traversable. |

}Table of Contents
- mysqli_result::$current_field — Get current field offset of a result pointer
- mysqli_result::data_seek — Adjusts the result pointer to an arbitrary row in the result
- mysqli_result::fetch_all — Fetches all result rows as an associative array, a numeric array, or both
- mysqli_result::fetch_array — Fetch a result row as an associative, a numeric array, or both
- mysqli_result::fetch_assoc — Fetch a result row as an associative array
- mysqli_result::fetch_field_direct — Fetch meta-data for a single field
- mysqli_result::fetch_field — Returns the next field in the result set
- mysqli_result::fetch_fields — Returns an array of objects representing the fields in a result set
- mysqli_result::fetch_object — Returns the current row of a result set as an object
- mysqli_result::fetch_row — Get a result row as an enumerated array
- mysqli_result::$field_count — Get the number of fields in a result
- mysqli_result::field_seek — Set result pointer to a specified field offset
- mysqli_result::free — Frees the memory associated with a result

Converting an old project from using the mysql extension to the mysqli extension, I found the most annoying change to be the lack of a corresponding mysql_result function in mysqli. While mysql_result is a generally terrible function, it was useful for fetching a single result field *value* from a result set (for example, if looking up a user's ID).
The behavior of mysql_result is approximated here, though you may want to name it something other than mysqli_result so as to avoid thinking it's an actual, built-in function.
<?php
function mysqli_result($res, $row, $field=0) {
$res->data_seek($row);
$datarow = $res->fetch_array();
return $datarow[$field];
}
?>
Implementing it via the OO interface is left as an exercise to the reader.

Extending the MySQLi_Result
<?php
class Database_MySQLi extends MySQLi
{
public function query($query)
{
$this->real_query($query);
return new Database_MySQLi_Result($this);
}
}
class Database_MySQLi_Result extends MySQLi_Result
{
public function fetch()
{
return $this->fetch_assoc();
}
public function fetchAll()
{
$rows = array();
while($row = $this->fetch())
{
$rows[] = $row;
}
return $rows;
}
}
?>

Generally, it appears Mysqli OO vs Procedural style has no significant difference in speed, at least with the more generally used functions and methods (connect, close, query, free, etc).
With the fetch_* family of functions and methods dealing with result rows, however, Procedural wins out. Averaging over a hundred or so tests with a result set of 180,000 records, and using mysqli_fetch_*() functions vs. their mysqli_result::fetch_*() counterpart object methods to read and iterate over all records, all of the mysqli_fetch_*() functions win by ~0.1 seconds less.
This is interesting considering we're dealing with the same result object in both styles.
This was using Vistax64, PHP5.3.2, Mysql 5.1.45, using a bit of this code:
<?php
// procedural - takes 0.1 seconds less than OO here
$stopwatch = microtime(true);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
++$z;
}
echo microtime(true) - $stopwatch;
// OO
$stopwatch = microtime(true);
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){
++$z;
}
echo microtime(true) - $stopwatch;
?>
