pg_send_execute

Sends a request to execute a prepared statement with given parameters, without waiting for the result(s)

Description

intbool pg_send_execute(PgSql\Connection $connection, string $statement_name, array $params)

Sends a request to execute a prepared statement with given parameters, without waiting for the result(s).

This is similar to pg_send_query_params, but the command to be executed is specified by naming a previously-prepared statement, instead of giving a query string. The function's parameters are handled identically to pg_execute. Like pg_execute, it will not work on pre-7.4 versions of PostgreSQL.

Parameters

connection

An PgSql\Connection instance.

statement_name

The name of the prepared statement to execute. If "" is specified, then the unnamed statement is executed. The name must have been previously prepared using pg_prepare, pg_send_prepare or a PREPARE SQL command.

params

An array of parameter values to substitute for the $1, $2, etc. placeholders in the original prepared query string. The number of elements in the array must match the number of placeholders.

Return Values

Returns true on success, false or 0 on failure. Use pg_get_result to determine the query result.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The connection parameter expects an PgSql\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 Using pg_send_execute

<?php
  $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");

  // Prepare a query for execution
  if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
    pg_send_prepare($dbconn, "my_query", 'SELECT * FROM shops WHERE name = $1');
    $res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
  }

  // Execute the prepared query.  Note that it is not necessary to escape
  // the string "Joe's Widgets" in any way
  if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
    pg_send_execute($dbconn, "my_query", array("Joe's Widgets"));
    $res2 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
  }
  
  // Execute the same prepared query, this time with a different parameter
  if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
    pg_send_execute($dbconn, "my_query", array("Clothes Clothes Clothes"));
    $res3 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
  }
  
?>
