PHP prepared statement -> only returns first letter from a column in database

Question

I have this Code

        $sql = "SELECT name FROM data WHERE id=? LIMIT 0,1";
        //prepares statement 
        $stmt = self::getConnection()->prepare($sql);
        $stmt->bind_param("i", $id);
        $ids = array(1,2,3);
        foreach ($ids as $key => $id) {
            $stmt->execute();
            $stmt->bind_result($name);
            $stmt->fetch();
            $stmt->store_result();

            var_dump($name);
        }

My database table looks like this

id | name
1  | First Name
2  | Second Name
3  | Third Name

Now the output looks like this:

string(10) "First Name" 
string(1) "S" 
string(1) "T"

The first name is correct. But then it just outputs the first letter of the following rows. I don't know why. I tried it out with another column that is an integer-type. That worked. Just this string-type column doesn't.

I also tried to change the $ids-Array in something like this: $ids = array(2,3,1) . Then it outputs

string(11) "Second Name" 
string(1) "T" 
string(1) "F"

I have no clue what to do. Does anyone see my mistake?

EDIT:

PHP 5.5 and Mysql 5.5.31 and var_dump:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `data` (

INSERT INTO `data` (`id`, `name`) VALUES
(1, 'First Name'),
(2, 'Second Name'),
(3, 'Third Name');

/*!40101 SET CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET COLLATION_CONNECTION=@OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION */;

I just saw that the dump says I use PHP 5.3. But on the website of strato they say 5.5

Answer 1

Here's what I found. I think reason it's in type tinytext . Because when I use your database dump then the error reproduced on my local PC. But as soon as I changed the column type to varchar 255 then code work fine.
