  <para>
   Binds a PHP variable to an SQL statement parameter in a statement resource
   returned by <function>db2_prepare</function>. This function gives you more
   control over the parameter type, data type, precision, and scale for the
   parameter than simply passing the variable as part of the optional input
   array to <function>db2_execute</function>.

    <title>Binding PHP variables to a prepared statement</title>
    <para>
     The SQL statement in the following example uses two input parameters in
     the WHERE clause. We call <function>db2_bind_param</function> to bind two
     PHP variables to the corresponding SQL parameters. Notice that the PHP
     variables do not have to be declared or assigned before the call to
     <function>db2_bind_param</function>; in the example,
     <literal>$lower_limit</literal> is assigned a value before the call to
     <function>db2_bind_param</function>, but <literal>$upper_limit</literal>
     is assigned a value after the call to
     <function>db2_bind_param</function>. The variables must be bound and, for
     parameters that accept input, must have any value assigned, before calling
     <function>db2_execute</function>.

     The stored procedure match_animal in the following example accepts
     three different parameters:
     <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
       <para>
        an input (IN) parameter that accepts the name of the first animal as

     </orderedlist>
     In addition, the stored procedure returns a result set consisting of the
     animals listed in alphabetic order starting at the animal corresponding
     to the input value of the first parameter and ending at the animal
     corresponding to the input value of the second parameter.

    <title>Inserting a binary large object (BLOB) directly from a file</title>
    <para>
     The data for large objects are typically stored in files, such as XML
     documents or audio files. Rather than reading an entire file into a PHP
     variable, and then binding that PHP variable into an SQL statement, you
     can avoid some memory overhead by binding the file directly to the input
     parameter of your SQL statement. The following example demonstrates how
     to bind a file directly into a BLOB column.
