The following code example shows how to bind parameters to create parameterized statements.

Reusable Statements

The odbc_prepare function creates prepared statements, which can be re-used across multiple calls to odbc_execute. The statement object can be used to fetch results like a non-parameterized query.

$stmt = odbc_prepare($cnx, "SELECT VisibilityCode, Comment FROM CompanyStatusUpdates WHERE EntityId = ?");

odbc_execute($stmt, array("238 1"));
while ($row = odbc_fetch_array($stmt)) {
    echo "VisibilityCode = ", $row["VisibilityCode"], "\n";
    echo "Comment = ", $row["Comment"], "\n";
}

odbc_execute($stmt, array("238 2"));
while ($row = odbc_fetch_array($stmt)) {
    echo "VisibilityCode = ", $row["VisibilityCode"], "\n";
    echo "Comment = ", $row["Comment"], "\n";
}
