PDOStatement::bindParam (no version information, might be only in CVS) PDOStatement::bindParam --
Binds a parameter to the specified variable name
Descriptionbool PDOStatement::bindParam ( mixed parameter, mixed &variable [, int data_type [, int length [, mixed driver_options]]] )
Binds a PHP variable to a corresponding named or question mark placeholder
in the SQL statement that was use to prepare the statement. Unlike
PDOStatement::bindValue(), the variable is bound as a
reference and will only be evaluated at the time that
PDOStatement::execute() is called.
Most parameters are input parameters, that is, parameters that are used
in a read-only fashion to build up the query. Some drivers support the
invocation of stored procedures that return data as output parameters,
and some also as input/output parameters that both send in data and are
updated to receive it.
Parameters
- parameter
Parameter identifier. For a prepared statement using named
placeholders, this will be a parameter name of the form
:name. For a prepared statement using
question mark placeholders, this will be the 1-indexed position of
the parameter.
- variable
Name of the PHP variable to bind to the SQL statement parameter.
- data_type
Explicit data type for the parameter using the PDO::PARAM_*
constants. To return an INOUT parameter from a stored procedure,
use the bitwise OR operator to set the PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT bits
for the data_type parameter.
- length
Length of the data type. To indicate that a parameter is an OUT
parameter from a stored procedure, you must explicitly set the
length.
- driver_options
ExamplesExample 1. Execute a prepared statement with named placeholders <?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by binding PHP variables */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
FROM fruit
WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour');
$sth->bindParam(':calories', $calories, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$sth->bindParam(':colour', $colour, PDO::PARAM_STR, 12);
$sth->execute();
?> |
|
Example 2. Execute a prepared statement with question mark placeholders <?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by binding PHP variables */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
FROM fruit
WHERE calories < ? AND colour = ?');
$sth->bindParam(1, $calories, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$sth->bindParam(2, $colour, PDO::PARAM_STR, 12);
$sth->execute();
?> |
|
Example 3. Call a stored procedure with an INOUT parameter <?php
/* Call a stored procedure with an INOUT parameter */
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('CALL puree_fruit(?)');
$sth->bindParam(1, $colour, PDO::PARAM_STR|PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT, 12);
$sth->execute();
print("After pureeing fruit, the colour is: $colour");
