bind_param mysqli

[fou2enve]

$stmt = $dbconn->prepare("SELECT * FROM `?_table` WHERE `name`='?'");
$stmt->bind_param('ss', $city, $name);

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function bind_param() on a non-object in C:\htdocs\beta\process.php on line 122

 

ive run the query in phpmyadmin and it works without errors, ive read online that if the query fails then $stmt becomes null and then bind_param fails. but the variables are valid when i echo them, so im lost.

 

any ideas?
