DB_common::autoPrepare()

DB_common::autoPrepare() --  Prepares an INSERT or UPDATE statement based on variables you supply

Synopsis

resource autoPrepare (string $table, array $table_fields, integer $mode = DB_AUTOQUERY_INSERT [, string $where = FALSE])

Description

Automatically builds an INSERT or UPDATE SQL statement so it can later be used by execute() or executeMultiple().

Parameter

string $table

name of the table

array $table_fields

ordered array containing the fields names

Be aware that these fields are assigned ? placeholders, therefore the data you pass to them in the execute() will be automatically escaped and quoted according to the current DBMS's requirements.

integer $mode

type of query to make (DB_AUTOQUERY_INSERT or DB_AUTOQUERY_UPDATE)

string $where

a string to be used in the WHERE clause. This is only used when $mode is DB_AUTOQUERY_UPDATE. The string is put directly into the query, so you must escape and quote literals according to the DBMS's standards.

Return value

resource - resource handle for the query or a DB_Error object on failure

Throws

Table 33-1. Possible PEAR_Error values

Example

Example 33-1. Using autoPrepare() in insert mode

<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...
$table_name   = 'user';
$table_fields = array('name', 'country');
$table_values = array('Zoe', 'France');

$sth = $db->autoPrepare($table_name, $table_fields,
                        DB_AUTOQUERY_INSERT);

if (PEAR::isError($sth)) {
    die($sth->getMessage());
}

$res =& $db->execute($sth, $table_values);

if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
    die($res->getMessage());
}
?>

Example 33-2. Using autoPrepare() in update mode

<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...
$table_name   = 'user';
$table_fields = array('name', 'country');
$table_values = array('Bob', 'USA');

$sth = $db->autoPrepare($table_name, $table_fields,
                        DB_AUTOQUERY_UPDATE, "country = 'Japan'");

if (PEAR::isError($sth)) {
    die($sth->getMessage());
}

$res =& $db->execute($sth, $table_values);

if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
    die($res->getMessage());
}
?>
