Hi everyone,
Using PHP (or indeed maybe more generally), is it possible to issue a
SET TIME ZONE statement with a parameter for the new runtime setting?
In a PHP application I'm issuing a SET TIME ZONE command just after the
database connection is created, and for security I'd like to pass the
time zone value in a parameter, as it's coming from a configuration file
- something like this:
$pdo = new PDO(/* DSN goes here */);
$statement = $pdo->prepare('set time zone :tz');
$statement->execute([':tz' => 'Europe/Dublin']);
However, in the logs I see:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "to" at character 15
STATEMENT: set time zone $1
Is this possible? I've also tried the "set timezone ..." variant with
similar results. I'm wondering too if the limitation (if such it is) is
in PHP or whether it's a Postgres thing.
You probably want set_config():
