ibase_execute

Description

int ibase_execute ( int query [, int bind_args])

Execute a query prepared by ibase_prepare(). This is a lot more effective than using ibase_query() if you are repeating a same kind of query several times with only some parameters changing.

<?php
    $updates = array(
        1 => 'Eric',
        5 => 'Filip',
        7 => 'Larry'
    );

    $query = ibase_prepare("UPDATE FOO SET BAR = ? WHERE BAZ = ?");

    while (list($baz, $bar) = each($updates)) {
        ibase_execute($query, $bar, $baz);
    }
?>
