db2_execute Executes a prepared SQL statement &reftitle.description; booldb2_execute resourcestmt arrayparameters db2_execute executes an SQL statement that was prepared by db2_prepare. If the SQL statement returns a result set, for example, a SELECT statement or a CALL to a stored procedure that returns one or more result sets, you can retrieve a row as an array from the stmt resource using db2_fetch_assoc, db2_fetch_both, or db2_fetch_array. Alternatively, you can use db2_fetch_row to move the result set pointer to the next row and fetch a column at a time from that row with db2_result. Refer to db2_prepare for a brief discussion of the advantages of using db2_prepare and db2_execute rather than db2_exec. &reftitle.parameters; stmt A prepared statement returned from db2_prepare. parameters An array of input parameters matching any parameter markers contained in the prepared statement. &reftitle.returnvalues; &return.success; &reftitle.examples; The following example prepares an INSERT statement that accepts four parameter markers, then iterates over an array of arrays containing the input values to be passed to db2_execute. ]]> &example.outputs; The following example prepares a CALL statement that accepts one parameter marker representing an OUT parameter, binds the PHP variable $my_pets to the parameter using db2_bind_param, then issues db2_execute to execute the CALL statement. After the CALL to the stored procedure has been made, the value of $num_pets changes to reflect the value returned by the stored procedure for that OUT parameter. ]]> &example.outputs; &reftitle.seealso; db2_exec db2_fetch_array db2_fetch_assoc db2_fetch_both db2_fetch_row db2_prepare db2_result
