Prepares an SQL statement to be executed by the

contain zero or more named (:name) or question mark (?) parameter markers
for which real values will be substituted when the statement is executed.

Calling <function>PDO::prepare</function> and <function>PDOStatement::execute</function>
for statements that will be issued multiple times with different parameter
values optimizes the performance of your application and helps prevent SQL

This array holds one or more key=&gt;value pairs to set
attribute values for the PDOStatement object that this method
returns. You would most commonly use this to set the
<literal>PDO_ATTR_CURSOR</literal> value to
<literal>PDO_CURSOR_SCROLL</literal> to request a scrollable cursor.
