The old ext/mysql extension did indeed not support prepared statements (just as the MySQL client protocol did not support them either at the time when ext/mysql created)

The newer ext/mysqli extension fixed that around 2003 already when prepared statement support became in MySQL, but somehow lots of people prefer to stay with the "classic" extensions API ...
