ibase_execute

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

ibase_executeExecute a previously prepared query

Description

resource ibase_execute ( resource $query [, mixed $bind_arg [, mixed $... ]] )

Execute a query prepared by ibase_prepare().

This is a lot more effective than using ibase_query() if you are repeating a same kind of query several times with only some parameters changing.

Parameters

query

An InterBase query prepared by ibase_prepare().

bind_arg

...

Return Values

If the query raises an error, returns FALSE. If it is successful and there is a (possibly empty) result set (such as with a SELECT query), returns a result identifier. If the query was successful and there were no results, returns TRUE.

Note: In PHP 5.0.0 and up, this function returns the number of rows affected by the query (if > 0 and applicable to the statement type). A query that succeeded, but did not affect any rows (e.g. an UPDATE of a non-existent record) will return TRUE.

Examples

Example #1 ibase_execute() example

<?php

$dbh 
ibase_connect($host$username$password);

$updates = array(
    
=> 'Eric',
    
=> 'Filip',
    
=> 'Larry'
);

$query ibase_prepare($dbh"UPDATE FOO SET BAR = ? WHERE BAZ = ?");

foreach (
$updates as $baz => $bar) {
    
ibase_execute($query$bar$baz);
}

?>
