Execute a previously prepared query ibase_errmsg ibase_fetch_assoc Firebird/InterBase Functions PHP Manual ibase_execute (PHP 4, PHP 5)ibase_execute — Execute 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( 1 => 'Eric', 5 => 'Filip', 7 => 'Larry');$query = ibase_prepare($dbh, "UPDATE FOO SET BAR = ? WHERE BAZ = ?");foreach ($updates as $baz => $bar) { ibase_execute($query, $bar, $baz);}?> See Also ibase_query() ibase_errmsg ibase_fetch_assoc Firebird/InterBase Functions PHP Manual
