<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Is there any risk in using integers (and other hardcoded variables) in PDO statments?<br />
<br />
ie<br />
$STH=$DBH-&gt;prepare(&quot;SELECT<wbr /> name FROM Employees WHERE active=1&quot;);<br />
$STH-&gt;execute();<br />
<br />
Seems like it would be a lot of hassle to write it like this:<br />
$STH=$DBH-&gt;prepare(&quot;SELECT<wbr /> name FROM Employees WHERE active=:active_status&quot;);<br />
$STH-&gt;execute(array(':acti<wbr />ve_status'<wbr />=&gt;1));<br />
<br />
(Also, is my syntax ok in the 2nd example?)

PHP PDO statements

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.

MySQL Server

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
