I am using PDO prepared statements
to execute two queries:
SELECT count(*) FROM vocabulary WHERE `type` = :type AND `lesson` = :lesson;
SELECT * FROM vocabulary WHERE `type` = :type AND `lesson` = :lesson limit 100;
The first query to get the count works as expected and i get the row count.
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare($sql);
foreach ($params as $key => $value)
$stmt->bindValue(":" . $key, $value, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();
$count = $stmt->fetchColumn();
$sql .= " limit $limit;";
$sql = str_replace("count(*)", $columns, $sql);
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, $class);
But when executing the second query i get:
SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: no parameters were bound
Therefore, I would like to know, if I have multiple queries where the parameters are exactly the same ,if I need to bind the same parameters again using
foreach ($params as $key => $value)
$stmt->bindValue(":" . $key, $value, PDO::PARAM_STR);
or if there is a way to bind parameters only once.
There is no need to modify your SQL like this. Your code basically comes down to this:
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare('SELECT count(*) FROM vocabulary WHERE `type` = :type AND `lesson` = :lesson');
$stmt->execute($params);
$count = $stmt->fetchColumn();
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare('SELECT * FROM vocabulary WHERE `type` = :type AND `lesson` = :lesson limit 100');
$stmt->execute($params);
$result = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, $class);
If I have multiple queries where the parameters are exactly the same, do I need to bind the same parameters again using
Yes, of course.
Parameters are bound to each query, not to PDO or a database globally.
On a side note, with PDO you don't have to bind variables explicitly, so there is a solution to your "problem": just don't bind at all but send your data directly into execute() as it shown in the Dharman's excellent answer
