I am doing updation of table using following prepared statements as follows:
$query = " UPDATE signup SET name=?,password=?,verify_key=? WHERE email=? ";
$stmt=$conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->bind_param("ssss",$dname,$password,$verify_key,$email);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
But it is giving error on which I am stuck for long time:
Fatal error: Call to a member function bind_param() on boolean in somefile.php on line 75
Structure of table in database is as follow:
mysql> desc signup;
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| sid | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| name | varchar(100) | NO | | NULL | |
| email | varchar(100) | NO | UNI | NULL | |
| password | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | |
| verify_key | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | |
| active | bit(1) | NO | | NULL | |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Note : I printed $dname,$password,$verify_key,$email. All printed correct string values.
Entire PHP code:

ob_start();
require_once("connection.php");
$dname=$_POST['dname'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
if(empty($dname) || empty($email) || empty($password))
die("Enter correct details.");
$password = password_hash($password,PASSWORD_DEFAULT); // generate hash for password
$verify_key = password_hash(RandomString(),PASSWORD_DEFAULT); // generate hash for verification key
/* RandomString() generates random string */
function RandomString($length = 32) {
$randstr;
//our array add all letters and numbers if you wish
$chars = array(
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'p',

for ($rand = 0; $rand <= $length; $rand++) {
$random = rand(0, count($chars) - 1);
$randstr .= $chars[$random];
}
return $randstr;
} // function RandomString() over
