Prepare takes the $sql (with '?'s where data will go), along with the TYPES (array) of data to prepare the sql for, and a 3rd paramater for manipulating or result-getting (see next paragraph). It assigns this to $prepared_statement. Another array is created with the data (in the same order as the types, of course), and the RESULT is aquired by running the execute() method on the $prepared_statement object, passing the execute method the "$data" array to fill in the '?'s After this do everything as normal.
