Here is the procedural version of a select statement when wanting to use %LIKE% in the query and not an '=':
<?php
function db_connect(){
// set $db as global for access outside function
global $db;
# Use procedural methods for database connection and manipulation
// Connect to Database
@$db = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);
// Check connection
if(mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo '<br />Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.<br />';
exit;
}
}
// Connect to Database
db_connect();
$theRecordInTheTableIs = "%".$_POST['theRecordInTheTableIs']."%"; // concat $_POST variable with % on each side for use in prepared statement
$theRelatedRecordLooks = "%".$_POST['theRelatedRecordLooks']."%"; // concat $_POST variable with % on each side for use in prepared statement
// Create Query
$q = ''; // create variable for input
$q .= " SELECT ";
$q .= " * ";
$q .= " FROM ";
$q .= " myFavTable ";
$q .= " WHERE ";
$q .= " theRecordInTheTableIs LIKE ? ";
$q .= " AND ";
$q .= " theRelatedRecordLooks LIKE ? ";
// Prepare the statement
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($db, $q);
// bind the paramaters
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'ss', $theRecordInTheTableIs,$theRelatedRecordLooks);
// Execute the query
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
// bind result variables
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $col0, $col1, $col2, $col3, $col4, $col5, $col6, $col7, $col8, $col9, $col10);
// Display the query
// start the table
echo '<table>

mysqli_stmt::bind_param -- mysqli_stmt_bind_param — Binds variables to a prepared statement as parameters
Описание
Объектно-ориентированный стиль
Процедурный стиль
Bind variables for the parameter markers in the SQL statement that was passed to mysqli_prepare().
Замечание:
If data size of a variable exceeds max. allowed packet size (max_allowed_packet), you have to specify b in
typesand use mysqli_stmt_send_long_data() to send the data in packets.
Замечание:
Care must be taken when using mysqli_stmt_bind_param() in conjunction with call_user_func_array(). Note that mysqli_stmt_bind_param() requires parameters to be passed by reference, whereas call_user_func_array() can accept as a parameter a list of variables that can represent references or values.
Список параметров
-
stmt -
Только для процедурного стиля: Идентификатор выражения, полученный с помощью mysqli_stmt_init().
-
types -
A string that contains one or more characters which specify the types for the corresponding bind variables:
Type specification chars Character Description i corresponding variable has type integer d corresponding variable has type double s corresponding variable has type string b corresponding variable is a blob and will be sent in packets -
var1 -
The number of variables and length of string
typesmust match the parameters in the statement.

For those learning mysqli::prepare and mysqli_stmt::bind_params for the first time, here is a commented block of code which executes prepared queries and returns data in a similar format to the return values of mysqli_query. I tried to minimize unnecessary classes, objects, or overhead for two reasons:
1) facilitate learning
2) allow relativity interchangeable use with mysqli_query
My goal is to lower the learning curve for whoever is starting out with these family of functions. I am by no means an expert coder/scripter, so I am sure there are improvements and perhaps a few bugs, but I hope not =)

Here's hoping the PHP gods don't smite me.
NOTES to new users! Or programmers like myself who learn the hard way!!!
Pay attention to the variables that are given in the function up above. ( string $types , mixed &$var1 [, mixed &$... ] ) . The example shows this too, but I personally didn't get it 'til trying to debug my code.
ITS REQUIRED TO PASS VARIABLES HERE. You can not pass straight data through here.
$stmt->bind('s','Something here'); Will error!!!
Just a clarification as to avoid another night like mine last night and this morning.
A lot of newcommers to mysqli find it hard to get started. I have written this wrapper with object based response, that handles most of my queries. I hope it'll be usefull for others as well:
<?php
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', '');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_DEFAULT_DB', 'test');
function iQuery($sql, $arrParams, $arrBindNames=false) {
$result = new stdClass();
$mysqli = @new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DEFAULT_DB);
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
$result->error = 'Connection failed: '.mysqli_connect_error();
return $result;
}
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql)) {
$method = new ReflectionMethod('mysqli_stmt', 'bind_param');
$method->invokeArgs($stmt, $arrParams);
$stmt->execute();
$meta = $stmt->result_metadata();
if (!$meta) {
$result->affected_rows = $stmt->affected_rows;
$result->insert_id = $stmt->insert_id;
} else {
$stmt->store_result();
$params = array();
$row = array();
if ($arrBindNames) {
for ($i=0,$j=count($arrBindNames); $i<$j; $i++) {
$params[$i] = &$row[$arrBindNames[$i]];
}
} else {
while ($field = $meta->fetch_field()) {
$params[] = &$row[$field->name];
}
}
$meta->close();
$method = new ReflectionMethod('mysqli_stmt', 'bind_result');
$method->invokeArgs($stmt, $params);
$result->rows = array();
while ($stmt->fetch()) {
$obj = new stdClass();
foreach($row as $key => $val) {
$obj->{$key} = $val;
}
$result->rows[] = $obj;
}
$stmt->free_result();
}
$stmt->close();
}
$mysqli->close();
return $result;
}
$arrParams = array('ss', $_POST['sex'], $_POST['active']);
$result = iQuery( 'SELECT * FROM `test_table` WHERE `sex`=? AND `active`=?', $arrParams);
print_r($result);
print $result->rows[1]->first_name . " " . $result->rows[1]->last_name;
?>
If $_POST['sex'] contains 'male' and $_POST['active'] contains 'yes' - and the field names are 'id', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'sex' and 'active', the printet result may look like this:
----------------------------------------------
stdClass Object
(
[rows] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 2
[first_name] => Peter
[last_name] => Johnson
[sex] => male
[active] => yes
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 5
[first_name] => Ole
[last_name] => Clausen
[sex] => male
[active] => yes
)
)
)
Ole Clausen
----------------------------------------------
You can also apply special field names to the response, if you use the parameter $arrBindNames:
$arrParams = array('ss', $_POST['sex'], $_POST['active']);
$arrNames = array('foo_id', 'bar_first', 'baz_last', 'foo_sex', 'bar_act');
$result = iQuery( 'SELECT * FROM `test_table` WHERE `sex`=? AND `active`=?', $arrParams, $arrNames);
- a row would then look like this:
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[foo_id] => 2
[bar_first] => Peter
[baz_last] => Johnson
[foo_sex] => male
[bar_act] => yes
)
The first argument 'ss' in $arrParams states, that the two following arguments are of type String. The options are 's' for String, 'i' for Integer, 'd' for Double and 'b' for Blob (sent in packages).
In queries, that do not return a result INSERT, UPDATE, etc. $result->affected_rows and $result->insert_id are available. Connection errors are available in $result->error. Additional error handling would be nice, but is not implemented for now. Play with the wrapper and use print_r on the result ... enjoy!
The name 'iQuery'? Well, it handles mysql*i* - and then I guess it's kind of a tribute to Mr. Jobs ... may he 'rest' in energetic, hungry foolishness =)

UPDATE: 08-NOV-2011 07:19
Due to changes in PHP 5.3 I encountered a problem with 'bind_param' in my iQuery function below. The values in the passed array *must* be references. The soloution is this function:
<?php
function getRefArray($a) {
if (strnatcmp(phpversion(),'5.3')>=0) {
$ret = array();
foreach($a as $key => $val) {
$ret[$key] = &$a[$key];
}
return $ret;
}
return $a;
}
?>
- and this change in iQuery:
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql)) {
$arrParams = getRefArray($arrParams); // <-- Added due to changes since PHP 5.3
$method = new ReflectionMethod('mysqli_stmt', 'bind_param');
$method->invokeArgs($stmt, $arrParams);
$stmt->execute();
$meta = $stmt->result_metadata();
Simple workaround for casting:
<?php
function mysqli_cast_workaround() {
$numargs = func_num_args();
$types = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $numargs; $i++) {
$arg = func_get_arg($i);
if (is_numeric($arg)) {
$types.="i";
}else{
$types.="s";
}
$args[($i+1)] = $arg;
unset($arg);
}
$args[0] = $types;
return call_user_func_array('mysqli_stmt_bind_param',$args);
}
?>
MySQL has a "NULL-safe equal" operator (I'm guessing since 5.0)
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/comparison-operators.html#operator_equal-to
If you use this operator instead of the usual = you can interchange values and null in where clauses.
There is however a known bug when using this operator with datetime or timestamp fields: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=36100
There are some things to note when working with mysqli::bind_param() and array-elements.
Re-assigning an array will break any references, no matter if the keys are identical.
You have to explicitly reassign every single value in an array, for the references to be kept.
Best shown in an example:
<?php
function getData() {
return array(
0=>array(
"name"=>"test_0",
"email"=>"test_0@example.com"
),
1=>array(
"name"=>"test_1",
"email"=>"test_1@example.com"
)
);
}
$db = new mysqli("localhost","root","","tests");
$sql = "INSERT INTO `user` SET `name`=?,`email`=?";
$res = $db->prepare($sql);
// If you bind array-elements to a prepared statement, the array has to be declared first with the used keys:
$arr = array("name"=>"","email"=>"");
$res->bind_param("ss",$arr['name'],$arr['email']);
//So far the introduction...
/*
Example 1 (wont work as expected, creates two empty entries)
Re-assigning the array in the while()-head generates a new array, whereas references from bind_param stick to the old array
*/
foreach( getData() as $arr ) {
$res->execute();
}
/*
Example 2 (will work as expected)
Re-assigning every single value explicitly keeps the references alive
*/
foreach( getData() as $tempArr ) {
foreach($tempArr as $k=>$v) {
$arr[$k] = $v;
}
$res->execute();
}
?>
Coming to the problem calling mysqli::bind_param() with a dynamic number of arguments via call_user_func_array() with PHP Version 5.3+, there's another workaround besides using an extra function to build the references for the array-elements.
You can use Reflection to call mysqli::bind_param(). When using PHP 5.3+ this saves you about 20-40% Speed compared to passing the array to your own reference-builder-function.
Example:
<?php
$db = new mysqli("localhost","root","","tests");
$res = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO test SET foo=?,bar=?");
$refArr = array("si","hello",42);
$ref = new ReflectionClass('mysqli_stmt');
$method = $ref->getMethod("bind_param");
$method->invokeArgs($res,$refArr);
$res->execute();
?>
It should be noted that MySQL has some issues regarding the use of the IN clause in prepared statements.
I.e. the code:
<?php
$idArr = "1, 2, 3, 4";
$int_one = 1;
$int_two = 2;
$int_three = 3;
$int_four = 4;
$db = new MySQLi();
$bad_stmt = $db->prepare(SELECT `idAsLetters` FROM `tbl` WHERE `id` IN(?));
$bad_stmt->bind_param("s", $idArr);
$bad_stmt->bind_result($ias);
$bad_stmt->execute();
echo "Bad results:" . PHP_EOL;
while($stmt->fetch()){
echo $ias . PHP_EOL;
}
$good_stmt->close();
$good_stmt = $db->prepare(SELECT `idAsLetters` FROM `tbl` WHERE `id` IN(?, ?, ?, ?));
$good_stmt->bind_param("iiii", $int_one, $int_two, $int_three, $int_four);
$good_stmt->bind_result($ias);
$good_stmt->execute();
echo "God results:" . PHP_EOL;
while($stmt->fetch()){
echo $ias . PHP_EOL;
}
$bad_stmt->close();
$db->close();
?>
will print this result:
Bad results:
one
Good results:
one
two
three
four
Using "IN(?)" in a prepared statement will return just one (the first) row from a table/view. This is not an error in PHP, but merely how MySQL handles prepared statements.
You can bind to variables with NULL values, and on update and insert queries, the corresponding field will be updated to NULL no matter what bind string type you associated it with. But, for parameters meant for the WHERE clause (ie where field = ?), the query will have no effect and produce no results.
When comparing a value against NULL, the MYSQL syntax is either "value IS NULL" or "value IS NOT NULL". So, you can't pass in something like "WHERE (value = ?)" and expect this to work using a null value parameter.
Instead, you can do something like this in your WHERE clause:
"WHERE (IF(ISNULL(?), field1 is null, field1 = ?))"
Then, pass in the value you want to test twice:
bind_param('ss', $value1, $value1);
Blob and null handling aside, a couple of notes on how param values are automatically converted and forwarded on to the Mysql engine based on your type string argument:
1) PHP will automatically convert the value behind the scenes to the underlying type corresponding to your binding type string. i.e.:
<?php
$var = true;
bind_param('i', $var); // forwarded to Mysql as 1
?>
2) Though PHP numbers cannot be reliably cast to (int) if larger than PHP_INT_MAX, behind the scenes, the value will be converted anyway to at most long long depending on the size. This means that keeping in mind precision limits and avoiding manually casting the variable to (int) first, you can still use the 'i' binding type for larger numbers. i.e.:
<?php
$var = '429496729479896';
bind_param('i', $var); // forwarded to Mysql as 429496729479900
?>
3) You can default to 's' for most parameter arguments in most cases. The value will then be automatically cast to string on the back-end before being passed to the Mysql engine. Mysql will then perform its own conversions with values it receives from PHP on execute. This allows you to bind not only to larger numbers without concern for precision, but also to objects as long as that object has a '__toString' method.
This auto-string casting behavior greatly improves things like datetime handling. For example: if you extended DateTime class to add a __toString method which outputs the datetime format expected by Mysql, you can just bind to that DateTime_Extended object using type 's'. i.e.:
<?php
// DateTime_Extended has __toString defined to return the Mysql formatted datetime
$var = new DateTime_Extended;
bind_param('s', $var); // forwarded to Mysql as '2011-03-14 17:00:01'
?>
I had a problem with the LIKE operator
This code did not work:
<?php
$test = $sql->prepare("SELECT name FROM names WHERE name LIKE %?%");
$test->bind_param("s", $myname);
?>
The solution is:
<?php
$test = $sql->prepare("SELECT name FROM names WHERE name LIKE ?");
$param = "%" . $myname . "%";
$test->bind_param("s", $param);
?>
Hi, I just write a function to do all my sql statements based on all the others comments in this page, maybe it can be useful for someone else :)
Usage:
execSQL($sql, $parameters, $close);
$sql = Statement to execute;
$parameters = array of type and values of the parameters (if any)
$close = true to close $stmt (in inserts) false to return an array with the values;
Examples:
execSQL("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ?", array('i', $id), false);
execSQL("SELECT * FROM table", array(), false);
execSQL("INSERT INTO table(id, name) VALUES (?,?)", array('ss', $id, $name), true);
<?php
function execSQL($sql, $params, $close){
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "pass", "db");
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql) or die ("Failed to prepared the statement!");
call_user_func_array(array($stmt, 'bind_param'), refValues($params));
$stmt->execute();
if($close){
$result = $mysqli->affected_rows;
} else {
$meta = $stmt->result_metadata();
while ( $field = $meta->fetch_field() ) {
$parameters[] = &$row[$field->name];
}
call_user_func_array(array($stmt, 'bind_result'), refValues($parameters));
while ( $stmt->fetch() ) {
$x = array();
foreach( $row as $key => $val ) {
$x[$key] = $val;
}
$results[] = $x;
}
$result = $results;
}
$stmt->close();
$mysqli->close();
return $result;
}
function refValues($arr){
if (strnatcmp(phpversion(),'5.3') >= 0) //Reference is required for PHP 5.3+
{
$refs = array();
foreach($arr as $key => $value)
$refs[$key] = &$arr[$key];
return $refs;
}
return $arr;
}
?>
Regards
WOW! Thanks for the code that fixed the issue with mysqli_stmt_bind_param and PHP 5.3+. Worth sharing again for people getting the error message that a reference was expected and a value was provided. Here's a snippet and the whole function that fixed it!
//Use it like this
call_user_func_array('mysqli_stmt_bind_param', array_merge (array($sql_stmt, $type), $this->refValues($param)));
function refValues($arr)
{
if (strnatcmp(phpversion(),'5.3') >= 0) //Reference is required for PHP 5.3+
{
$refs = array();
foreach($arr as $key => $value)
$refs[$key] = &$arr[$key];
return $refs;
}
return $arr;
}
Miguel Hatrick's Statement_Parameter class, as posted in these notes, allows for a relatively painless way of writing secure dynamic SQL. It is secure against SQL injection because we still use bind parameters for any content coming from the user.
For example, the following code constructs an insert statement, but looks at which query string (GET) parameters are present in order to figure out which columns should be included. The ParameterManager.php file is simply Miguel's classes as posted in this discussion.
<?php
require_once("dbConnectionParams.php");
require_once("ParameterManager.php");
$sp = new Statement_Parameter();
$column_list = "";
$value_list = "";
if (isset ($_GET['name']) ) {
$column_list = $column_list . "name,";
$value_list = $value_list . "?,";
$sp->Add_Parameter('name', Statement_Parameter_Type::$STATEMENT_TYPE_STRING);
$sp->Set_Parameter('name',$_GET['name']);
}
if (isset($_GET['address']) ) {
$column_list = $column_list . "address,";
$value_list = $value_list . "?,";
$sp->Add_Parameter('address', Statement_Parameter_Type::$STATEMENT_TYPE_STRING);
$sp->Set_Parameter('address',$_GET['address']);
}
//tidy up column list and value list - the code above will always leave them ending in a comma, which we remove now
$column_list = substr($column_list, 0, strlen($column_list) -1);
$value_list = substr($value_list, 0, strlen($value_list) -1);
$sql = "insert into test_table (" . $column_list . ") values (" . $value_list . ");";
echo $sql;
$mysqli = @new mysqli($host,$user,$password,$database);
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
$sp->Bind_Params($stmt);
if($stmt->execute() === TRUE)
{
/*** assign the last insert id ***/
$last_id = $mysqli->insert_id;
echo "OK$last_id";
}
else {
echo $mysqli->error;
}
?>
Used the hints above - esp the call_user_func_array - what works simply is passing by reference...
<?php
class MySQL {
// so vars that are global to the class
var $connection;
var $dbc;
function __construct () {
$this->connection = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
//printf("Could not connect to the DB: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); // TMI
printf("Could not connect to the DB");
exit();
}
}
function DBi($info) {
// a call has this array structure
// $this->info['params'] = array('is', &$user, &$name);
// $this->info['query'] = "select id, username, role_id from users where id = ? and name = ?";
// $this->info['close'] = "false"; // return $stmt for further work
//
$mysqli = $this->connection;
$params = $info['params'];
// print_r($info); // debug
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($info['query'])) {
$ret = call_user_func_array (array($stmt,'bind_param'),$info['params']);
// $ret not used yet...
$stmt->execute();
if ($info['close'] == "true") {
$result = $mysqli->affected_rows;
$stmt->close();
return $result;
} else {
return $stmt;
}
} else { printf("Prepared Statement Error: $server_id \n"); }
}
}
?>
The close is generally for inserts, else the $stmt is returned for further processing...
<?php
// call the method to run the prepared query, then return statement handle. If just wanted an insert, use close = true
if ( is_int($user) ) {
$this->info['params'] = array('is', &$user, &$name);
$this->info['query'] = "select id, username, role_id from users where id = ? and name = ?";

I did a prepared statement for inserting in a simple table - images ( blob ) and their unique identifiers ( string ). All my blobs have smaller sizes than the MAX-ALLOWED-PACKET value.
I've found that when binding my BLOB parameter, I need to pass it as a STRING, otherwise it's truncated to zero length in my table. So I have to do this:
<?php
$ok = $stmt->bind_param( 'ss', $id, $im ) ;
?>
I used to have problems with call_user_func_array and bind_param after migrating to php 5.3.
The problem is that 5.3 requires array values as reference while 5.2 works with real values.
so i created a secondary function to help me with this...
<?php
function refValues($arr){
if (strnatcmp(phpversion(),'5.3') >= 0) //Reference is required for PHP 5.3+
{
$refs = array();
foreach($arr as $key => $value)
$refs[$key] = &$arr[$key];
return $refs;
}
return $arr;
}
?>
and changed my previous function from:
<?php
call_user_func_array(array($this->stmt, "bind_param"),$this->valores);
?>
to:
<?php
call_user_func_array(array($this->stmt, "bind_param"),refValues($this->valores));
?>
in this way my db functions keep working in php 5.2/5.3 servers.
I hope this help someone.
You can, in fact, use mysqli_bind_parameter to pass a NULL value to the database. simply create a variable and store the NULL value (see the manpage for it) to the variable and bind that. Works great for me anyway.
This might be helpful for someone. I made a class to manage the parameters
Its used like this:
<?php
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("CALL item_add(?, ?, ?, ?)");
$sp = new Statement_Parameter();
$sp->Add_Parameter('mydescription', Statement_Parameter_Type::$STATEMENT_TYPE_STRING);
$sp->Add_Parameter('myean', Statement_Parameter_Type::$STATEMENT_TYPE_STRING);
$sp->Add_Parameter('myprice', Statement_Parameter_Type::$STATEMENT_TYPE_DOUBLE);
$sp->Add_Parameter('myactive', Statement_Parameter_Type::$STATEMENT_TYPE_INTEGER);
// call this to bind the parameters
$sp->Bind_Params($stmt);
//you can then modify the values as you wish
$sp->Set_Parameter('myactive',0);
$sp->Set_Parameter('mydescription','whatever');
/* execute prepared statement */
$stmt->execute();
class Statement_Parameter
{
private $_array = array();
public function __constructor()
{
}
public function Add_Parameter($name, $type, $value = NULL)
{
$this->_array[$name] = array("type" => $type, "value" => $value);
}
public function Get_Type_String()
{
$types = "";
foreach($this->_array as $name => $la)
$types .= $la['type'];
return $types;
}
public function Set_Parameter($name, $value)
{
if (isset($this->_array[$name]))
{
$this->_array[$name]["value"] = $value;
return true;
}
return false;
}
public function Bind_Params(&$stmt)
{
$ar = Array();
$ar[] = $this->Get_Type_String();
foreach($this->_array as $name => $la)
$ar[] = &$this->_array[$name]['value'];
return call_user_func_array(array($stmt, 'bind_param'),$ar);
}
}
class Statement_Parameter_Type
{
public static $STATEMENT_TYPE_INTEGER = 'i';
public static $STATEMENT_TYPE_DOUBLE = 'd';
public static $STATEMENT_TYPE_STRING = 's';
public static $STATEMENT_TYPE_BLOB = 'b';
}
?>
A few notes on this function.
If you specify type "i" (integer), the maximum value it allows you to have is 2^32-1 or 2147483647. So, if you are using UNSIGNED INTEGER or BIGINT in your database, then you are better off using "s" (string) for this.
Here's a quick summary:
(UN)SIGNED TINYINT: I
(UN)SIGNED SMALLINT: I
(UN)SIGNED MEDIUMINT: I
SIGNED INT: I
UNSIGNED INT: S
(UN)SIGNED BIGINT: S
(VAR)CHAR, (TINY/SMALL/MEDIUM/BIG)TEXT/BLOB should all have S.
FLOAT/REAL/DOUBLE (PRECISION) should all be D.
That advice was for MySQL. I have not looked into other database software.

///////////////////////////////
Im sure many of you may want to use this functionality.
spent about 3hours writing this, so maybe i can save somone else some time, you can break it up into smaller functions for reuse as you wish.
the mysqli stmt bind param (mysqli_stmt_bind_param) function only takes one variable at a time, so its difficult to pass in a few variables to fill in the placeholder space.
this allows mysqli prepared statements with variable arguments, one sql template with multiple placeholders to be prepared and excuted.
hope this helps somone,
Mahees.

I wanted to pass the parameters for several queries to a single function to fill them (insert / update having the same fields for example), while at the same time making the types array a bit easier to maintain when you've got a lot of parameters. Here's a simple solution I came up with:
<?php
function bindParameters(&$statement, &$params)
{
$args = array();
$args[] = implode('', array_values($params));
foreach ($params as $paramName => $paramType)
{
$args[] = &$params[$paramName];
$params[$paramName] = null;
}
call_user_func_array(array(&$statement, 'bind_param'), $args);
}
// Usage:
$statement = $database->prepare('INSERT INTO test (value1, value2) VALUES (?, ?)');
$params = array('param1' => 's',
'param2' => 'i');
bindParameters($statement, $params);
$params['param1'] = 'parameter test';
$params['param2'] = 42;
$statement->execute();
?>
Note that the types will be overwritten after a call to bindParameters to provide a sensible default (otherwise it will be used as the parameter value when you execute the statement), so you need to reinitialize the types if you want to bind it to another statement.
I already have a database class that makes everything nice and easy. But when it came to preparing, binding and executing, I found it was a real challenge to boil things down.
But luckily I stumbled over a bug-report with a workaround, that pointed me in the right direction.: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43568
I now execute stored procedures (aka routines) like this:
<?php
$db = new myDb();
$db->execProcedure('call someProc(?,?)','ss',array('param1','param2'));
?>
And this is the code to make it happen:
(I extracted this example from a bigger context, but you probably get the idea)
<?php
class myDb extends mysqli {
public function __construct() {
//Connection established here
}
public function execProcedure($call,$types,$params) {
$stmt = $this->prepare($call);
$bind_names[] = $types;
for ($i=0; $i<count($params);$i++) {
$bind_name = 'bind' . $i;
$$bind_name = $params[$i];
$bind_names[] = &$$bind_name;
}
$return = call_user_func_array(array($stmt,'bind_param'),$bind_names);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
}
}
Small correction. This version removes the NULL element from the array, so it doesn't fall on to the next ? when passed to mysql_stmt_bind_param(). Note that $saParams is still passed by reference, but now it is being modified.
<?php
function preparse_prepared($sQuery, &$saParams)
{
$nPos = 0;
$sRetval = $sQuery;
foreach ($saParams as $x_Key => $Param)
{
//if we find no more ?'s we're done then
if (($nPos = strpos($sQuery, '?', $nPos + 1)) === false)
{
break;
}
//this test must be done second, because we need to increment offsets of $nPos for each ?.
//we have no need to parse anything that isn't NULL.
if (!is_null($Param))
{
continue;
}
//null value, replace this ? with NULL.
$sRetval = substr_replace($sRetval, 'NULL', $nPos, 1);
//unset this element now
unset($saParams[$x_Key]);
}
return $sRetval;
}
?>
I've found that you can't pass NULL values in using mysql_stmt_bind_param. Recently I ran into this problem because I wrote some MySQL routines that would update existing data, but only when the value wasn't NULL.
My solution to work around this is simple:
<?php
function preparse_prepared($sQuery, &$saParams)
{
$nPos = 0;
$sRetval = $sQuery;
foreach ($saParams as $Param)
{
//if we find no more ?'s we're done then
if (($nPos = strpos($sQuery, '?', $nPos + 1)) === false)
{
break;
}
//this test must be done second, because we need to increment offsets of $nPos for each ?.
//we have no need to parse anything that isn't NULL.
if (!is_null($Param))
{
continue;
}
//null value, replace this ? with NULL.
$sRetval = substr_replace($sRetval, 'NULL', $nPos, 1);
}
return $sRetval;
}
?>
This will iterate the given list of parameters and replace any null values in the query with an actual null value. You'll want to use the resulting $sQuery to pass to mysqli_prepare(). For that, I use another routine that generates a list of the values (s, i, etc).
For example:
<?php
array_unshift($saParams, $this->getPreparedTypeString($saParams));
array_unshift($saParams, $stmt);
call_user_func_array('mysqli_stmt_bind_param', $saParams);
?>
Where getPreparedTypeString is defined as:
<?php
public static function getPreparedTypeString(&$saParams)
{
$sRetval = '';
//if not an array, or empty.. return empty string
if (!is_array($saParams) || !count($saParams))
{
return $sRetval;
}
//iterate the elements and figure out what they are, and append to result
foreach ($saParams as $Param)
{
if (is_int($Param))
{
$sRetval .= 'i';
}
else if (is_double($Param))
{
$sRetval .= 'd';
}
else if (is_string($Param))
{
$sRetval .= 's';
}
}
return $sRetval;
}
?>
To clarify why I pass array values by reference: They aren't being modified, so I don't want copies of them begin made in memory as they may be large. In other languages, this is much more efficient. Not sure if PHP handles passing values on a "copy on edit" basis.. but I'm guessing not.
It's worth noting that you have to bind all parameters in one fell swoop - you can't go through and call bind_param once for each.
Some examples in the documentation suggest that you can call $stmt->bind_param() once, then call $stmt->execute() several times while altering the bound variables each time, so as to e.g. insert several records into a data base. This is not true.
You need to call $stmt->bind_param() once each time AFTER you altered the set of variables, and BEFORE you call $stmt->execute()
This may be a bug. If it is not, the documentation is flawed, and there is no gain to the programmer using the new mysqli interface at this point.
To continue on previous post
Bigints and the 'd' type:
If the digit you insert is longer then 16 digits the last digits will alter. I was noticing this in my inserts.
1111111111111111111 changes to 1111111111111111168
I had to switch to using 's' as type
Columns with type bigint need to be specified as type 'd' NOT 'i'.
Using 'i' results in large numbers (eg 3000169151) being truncated.
