Hi
I am current trying to migrate an existing system using MySQLi to use
PDO and I have a quick question with regards to Prepared Statements.
Essentially I'd like to replicate the Prepared Statement functionality
of PDO using MySQLi so that I can gradually update all the required
pages to use similar function calls, and then swap everything over in
one go rather than spending ages on a big rewrite.
Using PDO you can pass parameters as an array which are bound to the
query. Something like:
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM Blah WHERE foo = ?");
$params = array("SomeValue");
$stmt->execute($params)
The PDO function "execute" takes 1 parameter which is an array.
There are similar functions in MySQLi such as bind_param and bind_result
of which one of the parameters is of type "mixed &var1 [, mixed &...]".
Is it possible to construct an array of this type and pass it to these
functions, and if so how?
I know is's possible to call these functions with something like:
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM Blah WHERE foo = ?");
$paramTypes = "s";
$params = array("SomeValue");
$stmt->bind_param($paramTypes, $params[0]);
But it seems you cannot pass the array itself using the '&' operator.
Cheers
Rob Hamilton
