odbc_execute()

odbc_execute - Execute a prepared statement

Syntax

bool odbc_execute (resource $result_id, array $parameters_array)

Arguments

• result_id - The result id resource, from odbc_prepare().
• parameters_array - Parameters in parameter_array will be substituted for placeholders in the prepared statement in order. Elements of this array will be converted to strings by calling this function. 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. If you wish to store a string which actually begins and ends with single quotes, you must add a space or other non-single-quote character to the beginning or end of the parameter, which will prevent the parameter from 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()).

Description

Executes a statement prepared with odbc_prepare().

Version

PHP 4, 5

Return value

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
