PHP : Function Reference : PDO Functions

PDO Functions

Introduction

The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension defines a lightweight, consistent interface for accessing databases in PHP. Each database driver that implements the PDO interface can expose database-specific features as regular extension functions. Note that you cannot perform any database functions using the PDO extension by itself; you must use a database-specific PDO driver to access a database server.

PDO provides a data-access abstraction layer, which means that, regardless of which database you're using, you use the same functions to issue queries and fetch data. PDO does not provide a database abstraction; it doesn't rewrite SQL or emulate missing features. You should use a full-blown abstraction layer if you need that facility.

PDO ships with PHP 5.1, and is available as a PECL extension for PHP 5.0; PDO requires the new OO features in the core of PHP 5, and so will not run with earlier versions of PHP.

Installation

Procedure 2. PHP 5.1 and up on Unix systems

  1. If you're running a PHP 5.1 release, PDO and PDO_SQLITE is included in the distribution; it will be automatically enabled when you run configure. It is recommended that you build PDO as a shared extension, as this will allow you to take advantage of updates that are made available via PECL. The recommended configure line for building PHP with PDO support should enable zlib support (for the pecl installer) as well. You may also need to enable the PDO driver for your database of choice; consult the documentation for database-specific PDO drivers to find out more about that, but note that if you build PDO as a shared extension, you must build the PDO drivers as shared extensions. SQLite extension depends on PDO so if PDO is built as a shared extension, SQLite needs to be built the same way.

    ./configure --with-zlib --enable-pdo=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared --with-sqlite=shared

  2. After installing PDO as a shared module, you must edit your php.ini file so that the PDO extension will be loaded automatically when PHP runs. You will also need to enable any database specific drivers there too; make sure that they are listed after the pdo.so line, as PDO must be initialized before the database-specific extensions can be loaded. If you built PDO and the database-specific extensions statically, you can skip this step.

    extension=pdo.so

  3. Having PDO as a shared module will allow you to run pecl upgrade pdo as new versions of PDO are published, without forcing you to rebuild the whole of PHP. Note that if you do this, you also need to upgrade your database specific PDO drivers at the same time.

Procedure 3. PHP 5.0.0 and up on Unix systems

  1. PDO is available as a PECL extension from » http://pecl.php.net/package/pdo. Installation can be performed via the pecl tool; this is enabled by default when you configure PHP. You should ensure that PHP was configured --with-zlib in order for pecl to be able to handle the compressed package files.

  2. Run the following command to download, build, and install the latest stable version of PDO:

    pecl install pdo

  3. The pecl command automatically installs the PDO module into your PHP extensions directory. To enable the PDO extension on Linux or Unix operating systems, you must add the following line to php.ini:

    extension=pdo.so

    For more information about building PECL packages, consult the PECL installation section of the manual.

Procedure 4. Windows users running PHP 5.1.0 and up

  1. PDO and all the major drivers ship with PHP as shared extensions, and simply need to be activated by editing the php.ini file:

    extension=php_pdo.dll

  2. Next, choose the other database-specific DLL files and either use dl() to load them at runtime, or enable them in php.ini below php_pdo.dll. For example:

    extension=php_pdo.dll
    extension=php_pdo_firebird.dll
    extension=php_pdo_informix.dll
    extension=php_pdo_mssql.dll
    extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
    extension=php_pdo_oci.dll
    extension=php_pdo_oci8.dll
    extension=php_pdo_odbc.dll
    extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll
    extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll

    These DLLs should exist in the system's extension_dir. Note that PDO_INFORMIX is only available as a PECL extension.

Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

PDO Drivers

The following drivers currently implement the PDO interface:

Driver name Supported databases
PDO_DBLIB FreeTDS / Microsoft SQL Server / Sybase
PDO_FIREBIRD Firebird/Interbase 6
PDO_IBM IBM DB2
PDO_INFORMIX IBM Informix Dynamic Server
PDO_MYSQL MySQL 3.x/4.x/5.x
PDO_OCI Oracle Call Interface
PDO_ODBC ODBC v3 (IBM DB2, unixODBC and win32 ODBC)
PDO_PGSQL PostgreSQL
PDO_SQLITE SQLite 3 and SQLite 2

Connections and Connection management

Connections are established by creating instances of the PDO base class. It doesn't matter which driver you want to use; you always use the PDO class name. The constructor accepts parameters for specifying the database source (known as the DSN) and optionally for the username and password (if any).

Example 1737. Connecting to MySQL

<?php
$dbh
= new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', $user, $pass);
?>


If there are any connection errors, a PDOException object will be thrown. You may catch the exception if you want to handle the error condition, or you may opt to leave it for an application global exception handler that you set up via set_exception_handler().

Example 1738. Handling connection errors

<?php
try {
 
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', $user, $pass);
  foreach (
$dbh->query('SELECT * from FOO') as $row) {
     
print_r($row);
  }
 
$dbh = null;
} catch (
PDOException $e) {
  print
"Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br/>";
  die();
}
?>


Warning:

If your application does not catch the exception thrown from the PDO constructor, the default action taken by the zend engine is to terminate the script and display a back trace. This back trace will likely reveal the full database connection details, including the username and password. It is your responsibility to catch this exception, either explicitly (via a catch statement) or implicitly via set_exception_handler().

Upon successful connection to the database, an instance of the PDO class is returned to your script. The connection remains active for the lifetime of that PDO object. To close the connection, you need to destroy the object by ensuring that all remaining references to it are deleted--you do this by assigning NULL to the variable that holds the object. If you don't do this explicitly, PHP will automatically close the connection when your script ends.

Example 1739. Closing a connection

<?php
$dbh
= new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', $user, $pass);
// use the connection here


// and now we're done; close it
$dbh = null;
?>


Many web applications will benefit from making persistent connections to database servers. Persistent connections are not closed at the end of the script, but are cached and re-used when another script requests a connection using the same credentials. The persistent connection cache allows you to avoid the overhead of establishing a new connection every time a script needs to talk to a database, resulting in a faster web application.

Example 1740. Persistent connections

<?php
$dbh
= new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', $user, $pass, array(
 
PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true
));
?>


Note:

If you wish to use persistent connections, you must set PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT in the array of driver options passed to the PDO constructor. If setting this attribute with PDO->setAttribute() after instantiation of the object, the driver will not use persistent connections.

Note:

If you're using the PDO ODBC driver and your ODBC libraries support ODBC Connection Pooling (unixODBC and Windows are two that do; there may be more), then it's recommended that you don't use persistent PDO connections, and instead leave the connection caching to the ODBC Connection Pooling layer. The ODBC Connection Pool is shared with other modules in the process; if PDO is told to cache the connection, then that connection would never be returned to the ODBC connection pool, resulting in additional connections being created to service those other modules.

Transactions and auto-commit

Now that you're connected via PDO, you must understand how PDO manages transactions before you start issuing queries. If you've never encountered transactions before, they offer 4 major features: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability (ACID). In layman's terms, any work carried out in a transaction, even if it is carried out in stages, is guaranteed to be applied to the database safely, and without interference from other connections, when it is committed. Transactional work can also be automatically undone at your request (provided you haven't already committed it), which makes error handling in your scripts easier.

Transactions are typically implemented by "saving-up" your batch of changes to be applied all at once; this has the nice side effect of drastically improving the efficiency of those updates. In other words, transactions can make your scripts faster and potentially more robust (you still need to use them correctly to reap that benefit).

Unfortunately, not every database supports transactions, so PDO needs to run in what is known as "auto-commit" mode when you first open the connection. Auto-commit mode means that every query that you run has its own implicit transaction, if the database supports it, or no transaction if the database doesn't support transactions. If you need a transaction, you must use the PDO->beginTransaction() method to initiate one. If the underlying driver does not support transactions, a PDOException will be thrown (regardless of your error handling settings: this is always a serious error condition). Once you are in a transaction, you may use PDO->commit() or PDO->rollBack() to finish it, depending on the success of the code you run during the transaction.

When the script ends or when a connection is about to be closed, if you have an outstanding transaction, PDO will automatically roll it back. This is a safety measure to help avoid inconsistency in the cases where the script terminates unexpectedly--if you didn't explicitly commit the transaction, then it is assumed that something went awry, so the rollback is performed for the safety of your data.

Warning:

The automatic rollback only happens if you initiate the transaction via PDO->beginTransaction(). If you manually issue a query that begins a transaction PDO has no way of knowing about it and thus cannot roll it back if something bad happens.

Example 1741. Executing a batch in a transaction

In the following sample, let's assume that we are creating a set of entries for a new employee, who has been assigned an ID number of 23. In addition to entering the basic data for that person, we also need to record their salary. It's pretty simple to make two separate updates, but by enclosing them within the PDO->beginTransaction() and PDO->commit() calls, we are guaranteeing that no one else will be able to see those changes until they are complete. If something goes wrong, the catch block rolls back all changes made since the transaction was started, and then prints out an error message.

<?php
try {
 
$dbh = new PDO('odbc:SAMPLE', 'db2inst1', 'ibmdb2',
     array(
PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
 echo
"Connected\n";
 
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

 
$dbh->beginTransaction();
 
$dbh->exec("insert into staff (id, first, last) values (23, 'Joe', 'Bloggs')");
 
$dbh->exec("insert into salarychange (id, amount, changedate)
     values (23, 50000, NOW())"
);
 
$dbh->commit();
 
} catch (
Exception $e) {
 
$dbh->rollBack();
 echo
"Failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>


You're not limited to making updates in a transaction; you can also issue complex queries to extract data, and possibly use that information to build up more updates and queries; while the transaction is active, you are guaranteed that no one else can make changes while you are in the middle of your work. In truth, this isn't 100% correct, but it is a good-enough introduction, if you've never heard of transactions before.

Prepared statements and stored procedures

Many of the more mature databases support the concept of prepared statements. What are they? You can think of them as a kind of compiled template for the SQL that you want to run, that can be customized using variable parameters. Prepared statements offer two major benefits:

  • The query only needs to be parsed (or prepared) once, but can be executed multiple times with the same or different parameters. When the query is prepared, the database will analyze, compile and optimize it's plan for executing the query. For complex queries this process can take up enough time that it will noticeably slow down your application if you need to repeat the same query many times with different parameters. By using a prepared statement you avoid repeating the analyze/compile/optimize cycle. In short, prepared statements use fewer resources and thus run faster.
  • The parameters to prepared statements don't need to be quoted; the driver handles it for you. If your application exclusively uses prepared statements, you can be sure that no SQL injection will occur. (However, if you're still building up other parts of the query based on untrusted input, you're still at risk).

Prepared statements are so useful that they are the only feature that PDO will emulate for drivers that don't support them. This ensures that you will be able to use the same data access paradigm regardless of the capabilities of the database.

Example 1742. Repeated inserts using prepared statements

This example performs an INSERT query by substituting a name and a value for the named placeholders.

<?php
$stmt
= $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO REGISTRY (name, value) VALUES (:name, :value)");
$stmt->bindParam(':name', $name);
$stmt->bindParam(':value', $value);

// insert one row
$name = 'one';
$value = 1;
$stmt->execute();

// insert another row with different values
$name = 'two';
$value = 2;
$stmt->execute();
?>


Example 1743. Repeated inserts using prepared statements

This example performs an INSERT query by substituting a name and a value for the positional ? placeholders.

<?php
$stmt
= $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO REGISTRY (name, value) VALUES (?, ?)");
$stmt->bindParam(1, $name);
$stmt->bindParam(2, $value);

// insert one row
$name = 'one';
$value = 1;
$stmt->execute();

// insert another row with different values
$name = 'two';
$value = 2;
$stmt->execute();
?>


Example 1744. Fetching data using prepared statements

This example fetches data based on a key value supplied by a form. The user input is automatically quoted, so there is no risk of a SQL injection attack.

<?php
$stmt
= $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM REGISTRY where name = ?");
if (
$stmt->execute(array($_GET['name']))) {
 while (
$row = $stmt->fetch()) {
   
print_r($row);
 }
}
?>


If the database driver supports it, you may also bind parameters for output as well as input. Output parameters are typically used to retrieve values from stored procedures. Output parameters are slightly more complex to use than input parameters, in that you must know how large a given parameter might be when you bind it. If the value turns out to be larger than the size you suggested, an error is raised.

Example 1745. Calling a stored procedure with an output parameter

<?php
$stmt
= $dbh->prepare("CALL sp_returns_string(?)");
$stmt->bindParam(1, $return_value, PDO::PARAM_STR, 4000);

// call the stored procedure
$stmt->execute();

print
"procedure returned $return_value\n";
?>


You may also specify parameters that hold values both input and output; the syntax is similar to output parameters. In this next example, the string 'hello' is passed into the stored procedure, and when it returns, hello is replaced with the return value of the procedure.

Example 1746. Calling a stored procedure with an input/output parameter

<?php
$stmt
= $dbh->prepare("CALL sp_takes_string_returns_string(?)");
$value = 'hello';
$stmt->bindParam(1, $value, PDO::PARAM_STR|PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT, 4000);

// call the stored procedure
$stmt->execute();

print
"procedure returned $value\n";
?>


Example 1747. Invalid use of placeholder

<?php
$stmt
= $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM REGISTRY where name LIKE '%?%'");
$stmt->execute(array($_GET['name']));

// placeholder must be used in the place of the whole value
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM REGISTRY where name LIKE ?");
$stmt->execute(array("%$_GET[name]%"));
?>


Errors and error handling

PDO offers you a choice of 3 different error handling strategies, to fit your style of application development.

  • PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT

    This is the default mode. PDO will simply set the error code for you to inspect using the PDO->errorCode() and PDO->errorInfo() methods on both the statement and database objects; if the error resulted from a call on a statement object, you would invoke the PDOStatement->errorCode() or PDOStatement->errorInfo() method on that object. If the error resulted from a call on the database object, you would invoke those methods on the database object instead.

  • PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING

    In addition to setting the error code, PDO will emit a traditional E_WARNING message. This setting is useful during debugging/testing, if you just want to see what problems occurred without interrupting the flow of the application.

  • PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION

    In addition to setting the error code, PDO will throw a PDOException and set its properties to reflect the error code and error information. This setting is also useful during debugging, as it will effectively "blow up" the script at the point of the error, very quickly pointing a finger at potential problem areas in your code (remember: transactions are automatically rolled back if the exception causes the script to terminate).

    Exception mode is also useful because you can structure your error handling more clearly than with traditional PHP-style warnings, and with less code/nesting than by running in silent mode and explicitly checking the return value of each database call.

    See Exceptions for more information about Exceptions in PHP.

PDO standardizes on using SQL-92 SQLSTATE error code strings; individual PDO drivers are responsible for mapping their native codes to the appropriate SQLSTATE codes. The PDO->errorCode() method returns a single SQLSTATE code. If you need more specific information about an error, PDO also offers an PDO->errorInfo() method which returns an array containing the SQLSTATE code, the driver specific error code and driver specific error string.

Large Objects (LOBs)

At some point in your application, you might find that you need to store "large" data in your database. Large typically means "around 4kb or more", although some databases can happily handle up to 32kb before data becomes "large". Large objects can be either textual or binary in nature. PDO allows you to work with this large data type by using the PDO::PARAM_LOB type code in your PDOStatement->bindParam() or PDOStatement->bindColumn() calls. PDO::PARAM_LOB tells PDO to map the data as a stream, so that you can manipulate it using the PHP Streams API.

Example 1748. Displaying an image from a database

This example binds the LOB into the variable named $lob and then sends it to the browser using fpassthru(). Since the LOB is represented as a stream, functions such as fgets(), fread() and stream_get_contents() can be used on it.

<?php
$db
= new PDO('odbc:SAMPLE', 'db2inst1', 'ibmdb2');
$stmt = $db->prepare("select contenttype, imagedata from images where id=?");
$stmt->execute(array($_GET['id']));
$stmt->bindColumn(1, $type, PDO::PARAM_STR, 256);
$stmt->bindColumn(2, $lob, PDO::PARAM_LOB);
$stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOUND);

header("Content-Type: $type");
fpassthru($lob);
?>


Example 1749. Inserting an image into a database

This example opens up a file and passes the file handle to PDO to insert it as a LOB. PDO will do its best to get the contents of the file up to the database in the most efficient manner possible.

<?php
$db
= new PDO('odbc:SAMPLE', 'db2inst1', 'ibmdb2');
$stmt = $db->prepare("insert into images (id, contenttype, imagedata) values (?, ?, ?)");
$id = get_new_id(); // some function to allocate a new ID

// assume that we are running as part of a file upload form
// You can find more information in the PHP documentation

$fp = fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], 'rb');

$stmt->bindParam(1, $id);
$stmt->bindParam(2, $_FILES['file']['type']);
$stmt->bindParam(3, $fp, PDO::PARAM_LOB);

$db->beginTransaction();
$stmt->execute();
$db->commit();
?>


Example 1750. Inserting an image into a database: Oracle

Oracle requires a slightly different syntax for inserting a lob from a file. It's also essential that you perform the insert under a transaction, otherwise your newly inserted LOB will be committed with a zero-length as part of the implicit commit that happens when the query is executed:

<?php
$db
= new PDO('oci:', 'scott', 'tiger');
$stmt = $db->prepare("insert into images (id, contenttype, imagedata) " .
 
"VALUES (?, ?, EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING imagedata INTO ?");
$id = get_new_id(); // some function to allocate a new ID

// assume that we are running as part of a file upload form
// You can find more information in the PHP documentation

$fp = fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], 'rb');

$stmt->bindParam(1, $id);
$stmt->bindParam(2, $_FILES['file']['type']);
$stmt->bindParam(3, $fp, PDO::PARAM_LOB);

$stmt->beginTransaction();
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->commit();
?>

Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

Warning:

PDO uses class constants since PHP 5.1. Prior releases use global constants in the form PDO_PARAM_BOOL.

PDO::PARAM_BOOL (integer)
Represents a boolean data type.
PDO::PARAM_NULL (integer)
Represents the SQL NULL data type.
PDO::PARAM_INT (integer)
Represents the SQL INTEGER data type.
PDO::PARAM_STR (integer)
Represents the SQL CHAR, VARCHAR, or other string data type.
PDO::PARAM_LOB (integer)
Represents the SQL large object data type.
PDO::PARAM_STMT (integer)
Represents a recordset type. Not currently supported by any drivers.
PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT (integer)
Specifies that the parameter is an INOUT parameter for a stored procedure. You must bitwise-OR this value with an explicit PDO::PARAM_* data type.
PDO::FETCH_LAZY (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return each row as an object with variable names that correspond to the column names returned in the result set. PDO::FETCH_LAZY creates the object variable names as they are accessed.
PDO::FETCH_ASSOC (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return each row as an array indexed by column name as returned in the corresponding result set. If the result set contains multiple columns with the same name, PDO::FETCH_ASSOC returns only a single value per column name.
PDO::FETCH_NAMED (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return each row as an array indexed by column name as returned in the corresponding result set. If the result set contains multiple columns with the same name, PDO::FETCH_NAMED returns an array of values per column name.
PDO::FETCH_NUM (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return each row as an array indexed by column number as returned in the corresponding result set, starting at column 0.
PDO::FETCH_BOTH (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return each row as an array indexed by both column name and number as returned in the corresponding result set, starting at column 0.
PDO::FETCH_OBJ (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return each row as an object with property names that correspond to the column names returned in the result set.
PDO::FETCH_BOUND (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return TRUE and assign the values of the columns in the result set to the PHP variables to which they were bound with the PDOStatement::bindParam() or PDOStatement::bindColumn() methods.
PDO::FETCH_COLUMN (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return only a single requested column from the next row in the result set.
PDO::FETCH_CLASS (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall return a new instance of the requested class, mapping the columns to named properties in the class.
PDO::FETCH_INTO (integer)
Specifies that the fetch method shall update an existing instance of the requested class, mapping the columns to named properties in the class.
PDO::FETCH_FUNC (integer)

Fetch into an array where the 1st column is a key and all subsequent columns are values
PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE (integer)
PDO::FETCH_SERIALIZE (integer)
As PDO::FETCH_INTO but object is provided as a serialized string. Available since PHP 5.1.0.
PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE (integer)
Available since PHP 5.2.0
PDO::ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT (integer)
If this value is FALSE, PDO attempts to disable autocommit so that the connection begins a transaction.
PDO::ATTR_PREFETCH (integer)
Setting the prefetch size allows you to balance speed against memory usage for your application. Not all database/driver combinations support setting of the prefetch size. A larger prefetch size results in increased performance at the cost of higher memory usage.
PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT (integer)
Sets the timeout value in seconds for communications with the database.
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE (integer)
See the Errors and error handling section for more information about this attribute.
PDO::ATTR_SERVER_VERSION (integer)

PDO::ATTR_CLIENT_VERSION (integer)
This is a read only attribute; it will return information about the version of the client libraries that the PDO driver is using.
PDO::ATTR_SERVER_INFO (integer)
This is a read only attribute; it will return some meta information about the database server to which PDO is connected.
PDO::ATTR_CONNECTION_STATUS (integer)
PDO::ATTR_CASE (integer)
Force column names to a specific case specified by the PDO::CASE_* constants.
PDO::ATTR_CURSOR_NAME (integer)
Get or set the name to use for a cursor. Most useful when using scrollable cursors and positioned updates.
PDO::ATTR_CURSOR (integer)
Selects the cursor type. PDO currently supports either PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY and PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL. Stick with PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY unless you know that you need a scrollable cursor.
PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME (string)

Returns the name of the driver.

Example 1752. using PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME

<?php
if ($db->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME) == 'mysql') {

}
?>


PDO::ATTR_ORACLE_NULLS (integer)

PDO::ATTR_STATEMENT_CLASS (integer)
PDO::ATTR_FETCH_CATALOG_NAMES (integer)
Prepend the containing catalog name to each column name returned in the result set. The catalog name and column name are separated by a decimal (.) character. Support of this attribute is at the driver level; it may not be supported by your driver.
PDO::ATTR_FETCH_TABLE_NAMES (integer)
Prepend the containing table name to each column name returned in the result set. The table name and column name are separated by a decimal (.) character. Support of this attribute is at the driver level; it may not be supported by your driver.

Do not raise an error or exception if an error occurs. The developer is expected to explicitly check for errors. This is the default mode. See Errors and error handling for more information about this attribute.
PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING (integer)
Issue a PHP E_WARNING message if an error occurs. See Errors and error handling for more information about this attribute.
PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION (integer)
Throw a PDOException if an error occurs. See Errors and error handling for more information about this attribute.
PDO::CASE_NATURAL (integer)
Leave column names as returned by the database driver.
PDO::CASE_LOWER (integer)
Force column names to lower case.
PDO::CASE_UPPER (integer)
Force column names to upper case.
PDO::NULL_NATURAL (integer)
PDO::NULL_EMPTY_STRING (integer)
PDO::NULL_TO_STRING (integer)
PDO::FETCH_ORI_NEXT (integer)
Fetch the next row in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.
PDO::FETCH_ORI_PRIOR (integer)
Fetch the previous row in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.
PDO::FETCH_ORI_FIRST (integer)
Fetch the first row in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.
PDO::FETCH_ORI_LAST (integer)
Fetch the last row in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.
PDO::FETCH_ORI_ABS (integer)
Fetch the requested row by row number from the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.
PDO::FETCH_ORI_REL (integer)
Fetch the requested row by relative position from the current position of the cursor in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.
PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY (integer)
Create a PDOStatement object with a forward-only cursor. This is the default cursor choice, as it is the fastest and most common data access pattern in PHP.
PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL (integer)
Create a PDOStatement object with a scrollable cursor. Pass the PDO::FETCH_ORI_* constants to control the rows fetched from the result set.
PDO::ERR_NONE (string)
Corresponds to SQLSTATE '00000', meaning that the SQL statement was successfully issued with no errors or warnings. This constant is for your convenience when checking PDO::errorCode() or PDOStatement::errorCode() to determine if an error occurred. You will usually know if this is the case by examining the return code from the method that raised the error condition anyway.
PDO::PARAM_EVT_ALLOC (integer)
Allocation event
PDO::PARAM_EVT_FREE (integer)
Deallocation event
PDO::PARAM_EVT_EXEC_PRE (integer)
Event triggered prior to execution of a prepared statement.
PDO::PARAM_EVT_EXEC_POST (integer)
Event triggered subsequent to execution of a prepared statement.
PDO::PARAM_EVT_FETCH_PRE (integer)
Event triggered prior to fetching a result from a resultset.
PDO::PARAM_EVT_FETCH_POST (integer)
Event triggered subsequent to fetching a result from a resultset.
PDO::PARAM_EVT_NORMALIZE (integer)
Event triggered during bound parameter registration allowing the driver to normalize the parameter name.

Please note this:
Won't work:
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories FROM ?  WHERE calories < ?');
THIS WORKS!
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories FROM fruit WHERE calories < ?');
The parameter cannot be applied on table names!!

PDO doesn't return OUTPUT params from mssql stored procedures
/* Stored Procedure Create Code: */
/*
CREATE PROCEDURE p_sel_all_termlength @err INT OUTPUT AS
SET @err = 2627
*/
/* PHP Code: */
<?php
$Link = new PDO('mssql:host=sqlserver;dbname=database', 'username',
'password');

$ErrorCode = 0;

$Stmt = $Link->prepare('p_sel_all_termlength ?');
$Stmt->bindParam(1,$ErrorCode,PDO::PARAM_INT,4);
$Stmt->execute();
echo "Error = " . $ErrorCode . "\n";
?>
/* PHP Output:
Error = 0
*/


webograph

pdo doesn't care about charsets. if you want to have your connection in unicode / utf-8 or any other encoding, you'll have to tell your database, for example using $dbh->exec('SET CHARACTER SET utf8') (mysql).

djlopez

Note this:
Won't work:
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories FROM fruit WHERE ? < ?');
THIS WORKS!
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories FROM fruit WHERE calories < ?');
Parameters cannot be applied on column names!!

Not all PDO drivers return a LOB as a file stream; mysql 5 is one example. Therefore when streaming a mime typed object from the database you cannot use fpassthru.
The following is a modified example that works with a mysql database. (Tested FreeBSD v 6.2 with mysql 5.0.45 and php 5.2.3)
<?php
ob_start();
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=<SOMEDB>', '<USERNAME>', 'PASSWORD');
$stmt = $db->prepare("select contenttype, imagedata from images where id=?");
$stmt->execute(array($_GET['id']));
$stmt->bindColumn(1, $type, PDO::PARAM_STR, 256);
$stmt->bindColumn(2, $lob, PDO::PARAM_LOB);
$stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOUND);
ob_clean();
header("Content-Type: $type");
echo $lob; // fpassthru reports an error that $lob is not a stream so echo is used in place.
ob_end_flush();
?>
Please note the inclusion of buffer control. I only needed this when using 'include','include_once','require', or 'require_once' - my feeling is there is a subtle issue with those options as even an empty include file caused a buffer issue for me. === AND YES, I DID CHECK MY INCLUDE FILES DID NOT HAVE SPURIOUS WHITESPACE ETC OUTSIDE THE <?php ?> DELIMITERS! ===

Missing info from this page:
PDO::ATTR_ORACLE_NULLS  (available with all drivers, not just Oracle): Conversion of NULL and empty strings.
PDO::NULL_NATURAL  (integer):
No conversion.
PDO::NULL_EMPTY_STRING (integer):
Empty string is converted to NULL.
PDO::NULL_TO_STRING (integer):
NULL is converted to an empty string.
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ORACLE_NULLS, PDO::NULL_TO_STRING);

It seems MySQL doesn't support scrollable cursors. So unfortunately PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL wont work.

katzke

It doesn't seem at this time that there's a practical solution (besides creating multiple PDO objects and therefore DB connections) to accessing and switching between multiple databases -- as with the mysql_select_db function.

shaolin

If your having problems re-compiling PHP with PDO as shared module try this.
--enable-pdo=shared
--with-pdo-mysql=shared,/usr/local/mysql
--with-sqlite=shared
--with-pdo-sqlite=shared
1. If PDO is built as a shared modules, all PDO drivers must also be
built as shared modules.
2. If ext/pdo_sqlite is built as a shared module, ext/sqlite must also
be built as a shared module.
3. In the extensions entries, if ext/pdo_sqlite is built as a shared
module, php.ini must specify pdo_sqlite first, followed by sqlite.


webform

If you use $dbh = new PDO('pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=test_basic01', $user, $pass); and you get the following error:
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[08006] [7] could not connect to server: Connection refused\n\tIs the server running on host "localhost" and accepting\n\tTCP/IP connections on port 5432?'
then as pointed out under pg_connect at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php#38291
******
you should try to leave the host= and port= parts out of the connection string. This sounds strange, but this is an "option" of Postgre. If you have not activated the TCP/IP port in postgresql.conf then postgresql doesn't accept any incoming requests from an TCP/IP port. If you use host= in your connection string you are going to connect to Postgre via TCP/IP, so that's not going to work. If you leave the host= part out of your connection string you connect to Postgre via the Unix domain sockets, which is faster and more secure, but you can't connect with the database via any other PC as the localhost.
******
Sincerely,
Aouie

If you need to get Output variable from MSSQL stored procedure, try this :
-- PROCEDURE
CREATE PROCEDURE spReturn_Int @err int OUTPUT
AS
SET @err = 11
GO
$sth = $dbh->prepare("EXECUTE spReturn_Int ?");
$sth->bindParam(1, $return_value, PDO::PARAM_INT|PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT);
$sth->execute();
print "procedure returned $return_value\n";

If you intend on extending PDOStatement and your using
setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_STATEMENT_CLASS, ...)
you must override the __construct() of your PDOStatement class.
failure to do so will result in an error on any PDO::query() call.
Warning: PDO::query() [function.PDO-query]: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: user-supplied statement does not accept constructor arguments
Here is a minimum PDO and PDOStatement class
<?php
class Database extends PDO {
function __construct($dsn, $username="", $password="", $driver_options=array()) {
parent::__construct($dsn,$username,$password, $driver_options);
$this->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_STATEMENT_CLASS, array('DBStatement', array($this)));
}
}
class DBStatement extends PDOStatement {
public $dbh;
protected function __construct($dbh) {
$this->dbh = $dbh;
}
}
?>

I wanted to extend PDO class to store statistics of DB usage, and I faced some problems. I wanted to count number of created statements and number of their executings. So PDOStatement should have link to PDO that created it and stores the statistical info. The problem was that I didn't knew how PDO creates PDOStatement (constructor parameters and so on), so I have created these two classes:
<?php
/**
* PHP Document Object plus
*
* PHP Document Object plus is library with functionality of PDO, entirely written
* in PHP, so that developer can easily extend it's classes with specific functionality,
* such as providing database usage statistics implemented in v1.0b

Classes have properties with original PDO and PDOStatement objects, which are providing the functionality to PDOp and PDOpStatement.
From outside, PDOp and PDOpStatement look like PDO and PDOStatement, but also are providing wanted info.

I use PDO with the ODBC driver to query stored procedures in a MS SQL Server 2005 Database under Windows XP Professional with IIS 5 and PHP 5.1.4. You may have the same problems with a different configuration.
I experienced 2 very time consuming errors:
1. The first one is when you return the result of a SELECT query, and you get the following clueless message:
>>> Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[24000]: Invalid cursor state: 0 [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid cursor state (SQLFetchScroll[0] at ext\pdo_odbc\odbc_stmt.c:372)' in (YOUR_TRACE_HERE) <<<
Your exact message may be different, the part to pay attention to is "Invalid cursor state".
-> I found that I had this error because I didn't include "SET NOCOUNT ON" in the *body* of the stored procedure. By default the server returns a special piece of information along with the results, indicating how many rows were affected by the stored procedure, and that's not handled by PDO.
2. The second error I had was:
>>> Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[22003]: Numeric value out of range: 0 [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Numeric value out of range (SQLFetchScroll[0] at ext\pdo_odbc\odbc_stmt.c:372)' in (YOUR_TRACE_HERE) <<<
Another meaningless error "Numeric value out of range"...
-> I was actually returning a date datatype (datetime or smalldatetime) "as is", that is, without converting it to varchar before including it in the result set... I don't know if PDO is responsible for converting it to a PHP datatype, but it doesn't. Convert it before it reaches PHP.

I just discovered that PDOStatement implements Traversable. That means you can use it in foreach loops to iterate over rows:
<?php
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:dbname=test');
$sth = $pdo->query('SELECT data FROM t1');
foreach($sth as $row) {
 echo $row['data'], "\n";
}
?>

I have seen a lot of user struggling with calling mysql procedures with in/out/inout parameters using bindParam. There seems to be a bug or missing feature within the mysql C api. This at least I could find out after reading a lot of posts at different places...
At the moment I workaround it like below. $con is a PDO object:
<?php
//in
$proc = $con->prepare( "call proc_in( @i_param )" );
$con->query( "set @i_param = 'myValue'" );
$proc->execute();
//out
$proc = $con->prepare( "call proc_out( @o_param )" );
$proc->execute();
$o_param = $con->query( "select @o_param" )->fetchColumn();
//inout
$proc = $con->prepare( "call proc_inout( @io_param )" );
$con->query( "set @io_param = 'myValue'" );
$proc->execute();
$io_param = $con->query( "select @io_param" )->fetchColumn();
?>

I found a nice pdo modification written in php called Open Power Driver. It has identical API with the original, but allows you to cache query results: http://www.openpb.net/opd.php

From Oracle example:
<?
$stmt->beginTransaction();
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->commit();
?>
PDOStatement has no beginTransaction(), nor commit(). Please fix documentation.

Example 5:
<?php
try {
 $dbh = new PDO('odbc:SAMPLE', 'db2inst1', 'ibmdb2',
     array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
.......
} catch (Exception $e) {
 $dbh->rollBack();
 echo "Failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
We must change the last two lines to catch the error connecting to the database:
} catch (Exception $e) {
 echo "Failed: " . $e->getMessage();
 $dbh->rollBack();
}
?>

       $this->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_STATEMENT_CLASS, array('DBStatement', array($this)));
