Mysqli Prepare Statement – Returning False, but Why? [duplicate]

I’m copying the solution into this answer so this can be given an upvote, otherwise the question will appear in the “unanswered questions” forever. I’m marking this answer CW so I won’t get any points.

@Andrew E. says:

I just turned on
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL) to
get a better understanding of what was
going on – turns out that one of my
field names was incorrect
– you’d
think that prepare() would throw an
exception, but it fails silently.
