Hi everyone,

I am using the PDO with MySQL for the first time and created a statement. Besides from individual input validation (which I always do), I would like to know, if you consider the following to be a clean statement:

That's what I figured from googled examples:

include ("pdoconnect.php");
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT firstname, name FROM telephonebook WHERE from_work = :workstatus ORDER BY :mywish ASC");
$stmt->bindParam(':workstatus', $n, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindParam(':mywish', $value, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$n = 1; $order = "firstname";
$stmt->execute();

echo "<u>".$stmt->rowCount()."</u>\r\n";
while ($row = $stmt->fetch())
echo $row['firstname']."&nbsp;".$row['name']."<br>";
$stmt->closeCursor();
$dbh = null;


in pdoconnect.php:
-----------------------
try
{ $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=host1.myhost.com;dbname=mydb1', alex, mypass);
foreach ($dbh->query('SELECT * from FOO') as $row)
{ print_r($row); }
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{ print "Database connection error!<br/>";
die();
}

I tried to prevent SQL injection methods by specifying PDO::PARAM*, and closing the statement and connection properly.

Is this a correct example? Or should I improve something?

Any hints greatly appreciated, since I am about to change all my scripts to this :-)
Thanks, Alex

prepare will give you bool(false) if something is wrong. If you do not test for this
your $stmt->bindParam() can fail. Either always test it, wrap the call, or use
exception mode (see below).

Those making use of the OO goodies would define their own wrapper class where they
put all the db helpers, like this:

class Dbman extends PDO {
function __construct($dburl) {
parent::__construct($dburl);
# $this->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, true);
# $this->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );
}
}

Errormode exception tells PDO to thow an exception on errors. This makes it easy to
frame your code with try - catch without testing every single database request.

A lot more can be said to this subject...

No, it will not work. You cannot use a bind parameter as a column name
(i.e. in the ORDER BY clause). You can only use it where you have a value.
