ibase_execute

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

Execute a previously prepared query

resource ibase_execute ( resource $query [, mixed $bind_arg [, mixed $... ]] )

Execute a query prepared by ibase_prepare().

This is a lot more effective than using ibase_query() if you are repeating a same kind of query several times with only some parameters changing.

Parameters:

query

An InterBase query prepared by ibase_prepare().

bind_arg

An InterBase query prepared by ibase_prepare().

...

An InterBase query prepared by ibase_prepare().

Returns:

If the query raises an error, returns FALSE. If it is successful and there is a (possibly empty) result set (such as with a SELECT query), returns a result identifier. If the query was successful and there were no results, returns TRUE.

Note:

This function returns the number of rows affected by the query (if > 0 and applicable to the statement type). A query that succeeded, but did not affect any rows (e.g. an UPDATE of a non-existent record) will return TRUE.

Examples:

    7 => 'Larry'
);
 
$query = ibase_prepare($dbh, "UPDATE FOO SET BAR = ? WHERE BAZ = ?");
 
foreach ($updates as $baz => $bar) {
    ibase_execute($query, $bar, $baz);
