How to: Perform Parameterized Queries |
Example See Also Send Feedback |
This topic summarizes and demonstrates how to use the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server to perform a parameterized query.
The steps for performing a parameterized query can be summarized into four steps:
-
Put question marks (?) as parameter placeholders in the Transact-SQL string that is the query to be executed.
-
Initialize or update PHP variables that correspond to the placeholders in the Transact-SQL query.
-
Use PHP variables from step 2 to create or update an array of parameter values that correspond in order to parameter placeholders in the Transact-SQL string.
-
Execute the query:
-
If you are using the SQLSRV driver, use sqlsrv_query or sqlsrv_prepare/sqlsrv_execute.
-
If you are using the PDO_SQLSRV driver, execute the query with PDO::prepare and PDOStatement::execute. The topics for PDO::prepare and PDOStatement::execute have code examples.
-
The rest of this topic discusses parameterized queries using the SQLSRV driver.

Parameters are implicitly bound by using sqlsrv_prepare. This means that if a parameterized query is prepared using sqlsrv_prepare and values in the parameter array are updated, the updated values will be used upon the next execution of the query. See the second example in this topic for more detail. |
Example
The following example updates the quantity for a specified product ID in the Production.ProductInventory table of the AdventureWorks database. The quantity and product ID are parameters in the UPDATE query.
The example then queries the database to verify that the quantity has been correctly updated. The product ID is a parameter in the SELECT query.
The example assumes that SQL Server and the AdventureWorks database are installed on the local computer. All output is written to the console when the example is run from the command line.

<?php /* Connect to the local server using Windows Authentication and specify the AdventureWorks database as the database in use. */ $serverName = "(local)"; $connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"AdventureWorks"); $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo); if( $conn === false ) { echo "Could not connect.\n"; die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true)); } /* Define the Transact-SQL query. Use question marks as parameter placeholders. */ $tsql1 = "UPDATE Production.ProductInventory SET Quantity = ? WHERE ProductID = ?"; /* Initialize $qty and $productId */ $qty = 10; $productId = 709; /* Execute the statement with the specified parameter values. */ $stmt1 = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $tsql1, array($qty, $productId)); if( $stmt1 === false ) { echo "Statement 1 could not be executed.\n"; die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true)); } /* Free statement resources. */ sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt1); /* Now verify the updated quantity. Use a question mark as parameter placeholder. */ $tsql2 = "SELECT Quantity FROM Production.ProductInventory WHERE ProductID = ?"; /* Execute the statement with the specified parameter value. Display the returned data if no errors occur. */ $stmt2 = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $tsql2, array($productId)); if( $stmt2 === false ) { echo "Statement 2 could not be executed.\n"; die( print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true)); } else { $qty = sqlsrv_fetch_array( $stmt2); echo "There are $qty[0] of product $productId in inventory.\n"; } /* Free statement and connection resources. */ sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt2); sqlsrv_close( $conn); ?> |
The previous example uses the sqlsrv_query function to execute queries. This function is good for executing one-time queries since it does both statement preparation and execution. The combination of sqlsrv_prepare/sqlsrv_execute is best for re-execution of a query with different parameter values. To see an example of re-execution of a query with different parameter values, see the next example.
The following example demonstrates the implicit binding of variables when you use the sqlsrv_prepare function. The example inserts several sales orders into the Sales.SalesOrderDetail table. The $params array is bound to the statement ($stmt) when sqlsrv_prepare is called. Before each execution of a query that inserts a new sales order into the table, the $params array is updated with new values corresponding to sales order details. The subsequent query execution uses the new parameter values.
The example assumes that SQL Server and the AdventureWorks database are installed on the local computer. All output is written to the console when the example is run from the command line.
