[HELP] PHP - Array to Bind Param (MySQLi)

Hello,

I'm in a bit of a pickle trying to create a function for MySQL that will allow me to put all of my values in an array, and then execute them in bind_param (MySQLi function).

Example:

<?php
function execute($query, $values) {
  global $mysqli;
  
  $run = $mysqli->prepare($query);
  
  /* I need help getting PHP to omit the line below and execute it. */
  $run->bind_param($values[0], $values[1], $values[2], $values[3]); /* I want it to look like this. */
  /* I need help getting PHP to omit the line above and execute it. */

  $run->execute();
}

execute('UPDATE users SET name = ?, email = ? WHERE id = ?;',
        Array('ssi', $_POST['name'], $_POST['email'], $_SESSION['id'])
        );

PHP:

The solution maybe simple or not, but I can't seem to think of a solution for some reason. :?:



EDIT
I've almost got it, but am having one last issue.

This doesn't work:

$mysqli = new mysqli($_CONFIG['mysql']['host'], $_CONFIG['mysql']['user'], $_CONFIG['mysql']['pass'], $_CONFIG['mysql']['db']);

function execute($query, $params) {
  global $mysqli;
  $run = $mysqli->prepare($query);
  call_user_func_array(array($run, 'bind_param'), $params);
  $run->execute();
  $run->store_result();
  return $run->num_rows;
}
echo execute('SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = ?;', Array('s', 'RastaLulz'));

PHP:

Returns the following error:

Warning: Parameter 2 to mysqli_stmt::bind_param() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\xampp\htdocs\ProCMS\DevBestCMS\test.php on line 12

Code (markup):

This does:

$mysqli = new mysqli($_CONFIG['mysql']['host'], $_CONFIG['mysql']['user'], $_CONFIG['mysql']['pass'], $_CONFIG['mysql']['db']);

function execute($query, $params) {
  global $mysqli;
  $run = $mysqli->prepare($query);
  call_user_func_array(array($run, 'bind_param'), Array('s', 'RastaLulz'));
  $run->execute();
  $run->store_result();
  return $run->num_rows;
}
echo execute('SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = ?;', Array('s', 'RastaLulz'));

PHP:

How would I get the first one to work? I don't understand what's the difference between the array being directly defined inside of it, and a variable that contains the array.

EDIT:
Apparently the issue above was a bug in PHP 5.3.1.

I corrected the issue by running the following code:

$tmp = array();
foreach($params as $key => $value) $tmp[$key] = &$params[$key];

PHP:

A bit silly that I have to do this, but it works.
