ibase_execute
(PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )
ibase_execute -- Execute a previously prepared query
Description
resource ibase_execute ( resource query [, int bind_args])
Execute a query prepared by ibase_prepare(). 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.
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.
Example 1. ibase_execute() example
<?php
$dbh = ibase_connect($host, $username, $password);
$updates = array(
1 => 'Eric',
5 => 'Filip',
7 => 'Larry'
);
$query = ibase_prepare($dbh, "UPDATE FOO SET BAR
= ? WHERE BAZ = ?");
while (list($baz, $bar) = each($updates)) {
ibase_execute($query, $bar, $baz);
}
?>
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.
