    | db2_bind_param    (PECL) db2_bind_param -- 
   Binds a PHP variable to an SQL statement parameter
  Descriptionbool db2_bind_param  ( resource stmt, int parameter-number, string variable-name [, int parameter-type [, int data-type [, int precision [, int scale]]]] ) 
   Binds a PHP variable to an SQL statement parameter in a statement resource
   returned by db2_prepare(). This function gives you more
   control over the parameter type, data type, precision, and scale for the
   parameter than simply passing the variable as part of the optional input
   array to db2_execute().
  Parameters
    stmt
       A prepared statement returned from db2_prepare().
      parameter-number
       Specifies the 1-indexed position of the parameter in the prepared
       statement.
      variable-name
       A string specifying the name of the PHP variable to bind to the
       parameter specified by parameter-number.
      parameter-type
       A constant specifying whether the PHP variable should be bound to the
       SQL parameter as an input parameter (DB2_PARAM_IN),
       an output parameter (DB2_PARAM_OUT), or as a
       parameter that accepts input and returns output
       (DB2_PARAM_INOUT). To avoid memory overhead, you can
       also specify DB2_PARAM_FILE to bind the PHP variable
       to the name of a file that contains large object (BLOB, CLOB, or DBCLOB)
       data.
      data-type
       A constant specifying the SQL data type that the PHP variable should be
       bound as: one of DB2_BINARY,
       DB2_CHAR, DB2_DOUBLE, or
       DB2_LONG .
      precision
       Specifies the precision with which the variable should be bound to the
       database.
      scale
       Specifies the scale with which the variable should be bound to the
       database.
      
Return Values
   Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
  Examples
    | Example 1. Binding PHP variables to a prepared statement 
     The SQL statement in the following example uses two input parameters in
     the WHERE clause. We call db2_bind_param() to bind two
     PHP variables to the corresponding SQL parameters. Notice that the PHP
     variables do not have to be declared or assigned before the call to
     db2_bind_param(); in the example,
     $lower_limit is assigned a value before the call to
     db2_bind_param(), but $upper_limit
     is assigned a value after the call to
     db2_bind_param(). The variables must be bound and, for
     parameters that accept input, must have any value assigned, before calling
     db2_execute().
     | <?php
$sql = 'SELECT name, breed, weight FROM animals
    WHERE weight > ? AND weight < ?';
$conn = db2_connect($database, $user, $password);
$stmt = db2_prepare($conn, $sql);
// We can declare the variable before calling db2_bind_param()
$lower_limit = 1;
db2_bind_param($stmt, 1, "lower_limit", DB2_PARAM_IN);
db2_bind_param($stmt, 2, "upper_limit", DB2_PARAM_IN);
// We can also declare the variable after calling db2_bind_param()
$upper_limit = 15.0;
if (db2_execute($stmt)) {
    while ($row = db2_fetch_array($stmt)) {
        print "{$row[0]}, {$row[1]}, {$row[2]}\n";	
    }
}
?> | 
 The above example will output: | Pook, cat, 3.2
Rickety Ride, goat, 9.7
Peaches, dog, 12.3 |

 | Example 2. Calling stored procedures with IN and OUT parameters 
     The stored procedure match_animal in the following example accepts
     three different parameters:
      
        an input (IN) parameter that accepts the name of the first animal as
        input
       
        an input-output (INOUT) parameter that accepts the name of the second
        animal as input and returns the string TRUE if an
        animal in the database matches that name
       
        an output (OUT) parameter that returns the sum of the weight of the
        two identified animals
       
 
     In addition, the stored procedure returns a result set consisting of the
     animals listed in alphabetic order starting at the animal corresponding
     to the input value of the first parameter and ending at the animal
     corresponding to the input value of the second parameter.
     | <?php
$sql = 'CALL match_animal(?, ?, ?)';
$conn = db2_connect($database, $user, $password);
$stmt = db2_prepare($conn, $sql);
$name = "Peaches";
$second_name = "Rickety Ride";
$weight = 0;
db2_bind_param($stmt, 1, "name", DB2_PARAM_IN);
db2_bind_param($stmt, 2, "second_name", DB2_PARAM_INOUT);
db2_bind_param($stmt, 3, "weight", DB2_PARAM_OUT);
print "Values of bound parameters _before_ CALL:\n";
print "  1: {$name} 2: {$second_name} 3: {$weight}\n\n";
if (db2_execute($stmt)) {
    print "Values of bound parameters _after_ CALL:\n";
    print "  1: {$name} 2: {$second_name} 3: {$weight}\n\n";
    print "Results:\n";
    while ($row = db2_fetch_array($stmt)) {
        print "  {$row[0]}, {$row[1]}, {$row[2]}\n";	
    }
}
?> | 
 The above example will output: | Values of bound parameters _before_ CALL:
  1: Peaches 2: Rickety Ride 3: 0
Values of bound parameters _after_ CALL:
  1: Peaches 2: TRUE 3: 22
Results:
  Peaches, dog, 12.3
  Pook, cat, 3.2
  Rickety Ride, goat, 9.7 |

 | Example 3. Inserting a binary large object (BLOB) directly from a file 
     The data for large objects are typically stored in files, such as XML
     documents or audio files. Rather than reading an entire file into a PHP
     variable, and then binding that PHP variable into an SQL statement, you
     can avoid some memory overhead by binding the file directly to the input
     parameter of your SQL statement. The following example demonstrates how
     to bind a file directly into a BLOB column.
     | <?php
$stmt = db2_prepare($conn, "INSERT INTO animal_pictures(picture) VALUES (?)");
$picture = "/opt/albums/spook/grooming.jpg";
$rc = db2_bind_param($stmt, 1, "picture", DB2_PARAM_FILE);
$rc = db2_execute($stmt);
