Hi all,

I would like to ask you if anyone of you ever did something like that or might tell me how to do this.

I am currently switching from PHP4 to PHP5 and mySQL4 to mySQL5.
On account of this, I would like to use the improvements of ext/mysqli instead of the old ext/mysql. So I need to do a rewrite on my database class and as of this, I would like to add new functions such as prepared statements, which are obviously supported by mysqli.

In fact, I would like to write a method within my class like this:

public function bindParam($str_types, &$var_variable)
{
    // Code
    $mysqli_stmt->bind_param($str_types, $var_variable);
}

This method is supposed to be called like this ($result is an object of that class)

$result->bindParam("s", $username);
$username = "username";


That does work out already, but I would like to add more parameters like this:


$result->bind_param("ssss", $username, $email, $me, $you);


As I don't want to write a method with 50 optional parameters (I needed to add one if I were to use 51 variables), I would like to solve this problem dynamically. In fact, I tried to recall the bind_param method of mysqli_stmt several times, but I have to call it only once as PHP requires me to do this. (I get an error otherwise that the number of variables isn't fitting to the prepared statement)
So I have to pass all parameters in one call.

I also tried eval() but that didn't really work out, either.

Now, my question is: What can I do to solve this problem? Is there any elegant way of doing this?


Thanks in advance for any inspiration (and I hope I could make myself clear).


Yours sincerely
Christian Heinrich
