PDOStatement::execute    (no version information, might be only in CVS) PDOStatement::execute -- 
     Executes a prepared statement
     Descriptionbool  PDOStatement::execute ( [array input_parameters] ) 
     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  
    Parameters
      - input-parameters
 
         An array of values with as many elements as there are bound
         parameters in the SQL statement being executed.
         
         You cannot bind multiple values to a single parameter; for example,
         you cannot bind two values to a single named parameter in an IN()
         clause.
         
  
    Return Values
     Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
     ExamplesExample 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 (named parameters) <?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 an array of insert values (placeholders) <?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 < ? AND colour = ?');
$sth->execute(array($calories, $colour));
?> |  
  |  
 Example 4. 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();
?> |
