Call to undefined method mysqli_stmt::get_result

Question

Here's my code:

include 'conn.php';
$conn = new Connection();
$query = 'SELECT EmailVerified, Blocked FROM users WHERE Email = ? AND SLA = ? AND `Password` = ?';
$stmt = $conn->mysqli->prepare($query);
$stmt->bind_param('sss', $_POST['EmailID'], $_POST['SLA'], $_POST['Password']);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

I get the error on last line as: Call to undefined method mysqli_stmt::get_result()

Here is the code for conn.php:

define('SERVER', 'localhost');
define('USER', 'root');
define('PASS', 'xxxx');
define('DB', 'xxxx');
class Connection{
    /**
     * @var Resource 
     */
    var $mysqli = null;

    function __construct(){
        try{
            if(!$this->mysqli){
                $this->mysqli = new MySQLi(SERVER, USER, PASS, DB);
                if(!$this->mysqli)
                    throw new Exception('Could not create connection using MySQLi', 'NO_CONNECTION');
            }
        }
        catch(Exception $ex){
            echo "ERROR: ".$e->getMessage();
        }
    }
}

If I write this line:

if(!stmt) echo 'Statement prepared'; else echo 'Statement NOT prepared';

It prints 'Statement NOT prepared'. If I run the query directly in the IDE replacing ? marks with values, it works fine. Please note that $conn object works fine in other queries in the project.

Any help please.......

Please read the user notes for this method:

http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.get-result.php

It requires the mysqlnd driver... if it isn't installed on your webspace you will have to work with BIND_RESULT & FETCH!
