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 Filesize, Filename FROM Notes WHERE FilePath = ?");

odbc_execute($stmt, array("/documents/doc.txt 1"));
while ($row = odbc_fetch_array($stmt)) {
    echo "Filesize = ", $row["Filesize"], "\n";
    echo "Filename = ", $row["Filename"], "\n";
}

odbc_execute($stmt, array("/documents/doc.txt 2"));
while ($row = odbc_fetch_array($stmt)) {
    echo "Filesize = ", $row["Filesize"], "\n";
    echo "Filename = ", $row["Filename"], "\n";
}
