Hello, I've some problems with calling stored procedures. When I try to execute the demonstration example on php.net I get no result, but it works with normal SQL-commandqueries software: MAMP-package: php 5.1.6, mysql 5.0.19, apache 2.0.59 my stored procedure is for this example returns a string: CREATE PROCEDURE stringi(OUT result VARCHAR(30)) BEGIN SELECT text INTO result FROM checker WHERE id = 1; it works with sql queries like: 'CALL stringi(@a)' - 'SELECT @a' so the stored procedure should be working correctly, or did i miss something? Thanks ahead for any advise! -------------------------------------------- the first code is the one from php.net that doesn't work: code-output: "procedure returned mysql" try{ $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'user', 'password'); $stmt = $dbh->prepare("CALL stringi(?)"); $stmt->bindParam(1, $return_value, PDO::PARAM_STR, 4000); // call the stored procedure $stmt->execute(); print "procedure returned $return_value\n"; echo $dbh->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME); } catch (PDOException $e) { print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br/>"; die(); } this is the example described above that works output: "Array ( [@a] => baer [0] => baer ) mysql" try{ $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'user', 'password'); $dbh->query('CALL stringi(@a)'); foreach($dbh->query('SELECT @a') as $foo) print_r($foo).'</ br>'; echo $dbh->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME); } catch (PDOException $e) { print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br/>"; die(); } -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
