Bug description: Permit parameters in execute()
Description:
I want to convert to MySqli from PDO's MySql driver as I'm hitting a known
bug in PDO that isn't getting fixed and I figure MySqli would be faster
anyway.
However, MySqli appears to be restrictive when compared to PDO in its
insistence that I use bind_params(). PDO allows the alternative to pass
Mysql parameters as an array to its execute() method.
My Mysql parameters are passed to me as an array in my code.
I do not know a way in PHP of passing an array of these parameters to
MySQLi while it insists on using bind_params which in turn insists on a
fixed list of named variables.
As I say, PDO copes with this as it's execute() method offers the
alternative choice while params to MySqli's execute() are marked as void,
and so it seems to me impossible to implement my Data Access Service layer
(which manages DB access on similar lines to the PHP SDO extension) with
Mysqli at the moment unless I completely lose the advantage of prepared
statements.
The code below hopefully illustrates the kind of usage I need (and as I
say, PDO allows). Perhaps there is a workaround I have not thought of.
Thanks in advance for any comments/tips,
Mark
Reproduce code:
---
execute($mysqlParams);
class MyDasStmt
{
protected $mysqlParamsStringTypes;
protected $stmt;
public function __construct($dbh, $sql, $mysqlParamsStringTypes)
{
$this->stmt = $dbh->stmt_init();
$this->stmt->prepare($sql);
}
public function execute(array $mysqlParams)
{
$this->stmt->execute($this->mysqlParamsStringTypes,
$mysqlParams);
// ...
}
}
?>
