  &warn.experimental.func;

  <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>.

   <example>
    <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>.
