Note that you must
- EITHER pass all values to bind in an array to PDOStatement::execute()
- OR bind every value before with PDOStatement::bindValue(), then call PDOStatement::execute() with *no* parameter (not even "array()"!).
Passing an array (empty or not) to execute() will "erase" and replace any previous bindings (and can lead to, e.g. with MySQL, "SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2031" (CR_PARAMS_NOT_BOUND) if you passed an empty array).
Thus the following function is incorrect in case the prepared statement has been "bound" before:
<?php
function customExecute(PDOStatement &$sth, $params = NULL) {
return $sth->execute($params);
}
?>
and should therefore be replaced by something like:
<?php
function customExecute(PDOStatement &$sth, array $params = array()) {
if (empty($params))
return $sth->execute();
return $sth->execute($params);
}
?>
Also note that PDOStatement::execute() doesn't require $input_parameters to be an array.
(of course, do not use it as is ^^).
