Do I really need bindParam?
- by sandelius
Hi there!
I'm trying to do a little PDO CRUD to learn some PDO. I have a question about bindParam. Here's my update method right now:
public static function update($conditions = array(), $data = array(), $table = '')
{
self::instance();
// Late static bindings (PHP 5.3)
$table = ($table === '') ? self::table() : $table;
// Check which data array we want to use
$values = (empty($data)) ? self::$_fields : $data;
$sql = "UPDATE $table SET ";
foreach ($values as $f => $v)
{
$sql .= "$f = ?, ";
}
// let's build the conditions
self::build_conditions($conditions);
// fix our WHERE, AND, OR, LIKE conditions
$extra = self::$condition_string;
// querystring
$sql = rtrim($sql, ', ') . $extra;
// let's merge the arrays into on
$v_val = array_values($values);
$c_val = array_values($conditions);
$array = array_merge($v_val, self::$condition_array);
$stmt = self::$db->prepare($sql);
return $stmt->execute($array);
}
in my "self::$condition_array" I get all the right values from the ?. SO the query looks like this:
UPDATE table SET this = ?, another = ? WHERE title = ? AND time = ?
as you can see I dont use bindParams instead I pass the right values in the right order ($array) directly into the execute($array) method. This works like a charm BUT is it safe not use use bindParam here?
If not then how can I do it?
Thanks from Sweden
