PDO - 引号正在生成MySQL语法错误

I'm trying to bind parameters in what I think is the correct way, but I get a 1064 error from MySQL, suggesting that there are too many quotes involved. The written code looks like this:

$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_username = 'root';
$db_password = 'Password123';
$db_database = 'db_test';

$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$db_host", $db_username, $db_password);
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("DROP DATABASE :db_database;");
$stmt->bindParam(':db_database', $db_database, PDO::PARAM_STR, 7);
$stmt->execute() or exit(print_r($stmt->errorInfo(), true));

and displays the error message:

Array ( [0] => 42000 [1] => 1064 [2] => You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''db_test'' at line 1 )

It worked fine when I inserted the variable $db_database the wrong way, i.e. directly into the sql syntax. Also, I have checked that magic_quotes are turned off, if that has any impact on it. Right now I'm stuck, because it feels like I have done things correctly (but obviously I haven't). Can anyone see the error?

  1. You are using emulation it seems, because the database wouldn't even let you PREPARE this (set $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES,false);)
  2. You can NOT name identifiers (column/table/databasenames), functions, etc. in parameters, that is not how prepared statements work, you can only send 'true' strings / floats / ints. In short, if you need an identifier or function name somewhere, it should be in the query before your ->prepare() it.

Try the following:

$dbh->query("DROP TABLE `{$db_database}`");

You should stick with prepare/execute when working with tables rather than databases. Also, you will only see a performance increase with prepare and execute when issuing multiple similar queries. Quote From the PHP Manpage:

For a query that you need to issue multiple times, you will realize better performance if you prepare a PDOStatement object using PDO::prepare() and issue the statement with multiple calls to PDOStatement::execute().
