Description

bool PDOStatement::execute ( [array input_parameters] )

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

Execute the prepared statement. If the prepared statement included parameter markers, you must either:

call PDOStatement::bindParam() to bind PHP variables to the parameter markers: bound variables pass their value as input and receive the output value, if any, of their associated parameter markers
or pass an array of input-only parameter values

Example 1. Execute a prepared statement with bound variables


<?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by binding PHP variables */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
    FROM fruit
    WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour');
$sth->bindParam(':calories', $calories, PDO_PARAM_INT);
$sth->bindParam(':colour', $colour, PDO_PARAM_STR, 12);
$sth->execute();
?>

Example 2. Execute a prepared statement with an array of insert values


<?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by passing an array of insert values */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
    FROM fruit
    WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour');
$sth->execute(array(':calories' => $calories, ':colour' => $colour));
?>

Example 3. Execute a prepared statement with question mark placeholders


<?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by binding PHP variables */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
    FROM fruit
    WHERE calories < ? AND colour = ?');
$sth->bindParam(1, $calories, PDO_PARAM_INT);
$sth->bindParam(2, $colour, PDO_PARAM_STR, 12);
$sth->execute();
?>
