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 actor.attributes.email, repository.name FROM [publicdata].[samples].github_nested WHERE repository.name = ?");

odbc_execute($stmt, array("EntityFramework 1"));
while ($row = odbc_fetch_array($stmt)) {
    echo "actor.attributes.email = ", $row["actor.attributes.email"], "\n";
    echo "repository.name = ", $row["repository.name"], "\n";
}

odbc_execute($stmt, array("EntityFramework 2"));
while ($row = odbc_fetch_array($stmt)) {
    echo "actor.attributes.email = ", $row["actor.attributes.email"], "\n";
    echo "repository.name = ", $row["repository.name"], "\n";
}
