Stored procedure with variable table name

I'm trying to create a stored procedure that lets me pass in a table name and return the id of a specific record.

I've got a sproc to work - or at least not error but it isn't returning any data and I can't see why. In the sproc, I'm passing in the name of the table and a randomly generated string. I do a select on the table to see if there are any records matching the string and, if so, I was to report out the id of the query.

What I have so far is:

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_GetRecordID (
IN formSecret_In varchar(50),
IN tablename_In varchar(200),
OUT id_Out INT(11)
)
BEGIN
SET @getID = CONCAT(‘SELECT * FROM ‘,tablename_In,’ WHERE formSecret=',formSecret_In);
PREPARE stmt FROM @getID;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
END;

Running it in PhpMyAdmin, I get:
SET @p0='bcbf491ec294adcdeb89d15e8d31f5fa'; SET @p1='tbl_JustSayThanks'; CALL `sp_GetRecordID`(@p0, @p1);

I don't get any errors or results. I should get something as there is definitely a record to correspond to that string.

While I have experience in MSSQL, I'm still struggling to make the switch to MySQL, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
