ODBC Functions
PHP Manual

odbc_execute

Execute a prepared statement

Description

bool odbc_execute ( resource $result_id [, array $parameters_array ] )

Executes a statement prepared with odbc_prepare.

Parameters

result_id

The result id resource, from odbc_prepare.

parameters_array

Parameters in parameter_array will be substituted for placeholders in the prepared statement in order. Elements of this array will be converted to strings by calling this function.

Any parameters in parameter_array which start and end with single quotes will be taken as the name of a file to read and send to the database server as the data for the appropriate placeholder.

If you wish to store a string which actually begins and ends with single quotes, you must add a space or other non-single-quote character to the beginning or end of the parameter, which will prevent the parameter from being taken as a file name. If this is not an option, then you must use another mechanism to store the string, such as executing the query directly with odbc_exec).

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example #1 odbc_execute and odbc_prepare example

In the following code, $success will only be TRUE if all three parameters to myproc are IN parameters:

<?php
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
$c = 3;
$stmt    = odbc_prepare($conn, 'CALL myproc(?,?,?)');
$success = odbc_execute($stmt, array($a, $b, $c));
?>

If you need to call a stored procedure using INOUT or OUT parameters, the recommended workaround is to use a native extension for your database (for example, mssql for MS SQL Server, or oci8 for Oracle).
