odbc_execute

Execute a prepared statement (PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )
bool odbc_execute ( resource result_id [, array parameters_array] )

Executes a statement prepared with odbc_prepare().Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. The array parameters_array only needs to be given if you really have parameters in your statement.

Parameters in parameter_array will be substituted for placeholders in the prepared statement in order.

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.

Note:

As of PHP 4.1.1, this file reading functionality has the following restrictions:

  • File reading is not subject to any safe mode or open-basedir restrictions. This is fixed in PHP 4.2.0.
  • Remote files are not supported.
  • If you wish to store a string which actually begins and ends with single quotes, you must escape them or add a space or other non-single-quote character to the beginning or end of the parameter, which will prevent the parameter's 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()).
