How to put PDO bindParam in if statement? - php

Question

How to put PDO bindParam in if statement? I tried to do a different variations, but none of them worked.
function get_all_pages($subject_id, $public = true)
{
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=name;charset=utf8', 'root', 'whatewer');
$query = "SELECT * ";
$query.= "FROM pages ";
$query.= "WHERE subject_id =:id ";
if ($public)
{
$query.= " AND visible =:visible ";
}
$query.= "ORDER BY position ASC";
$query.= "ORDER BY position ASC";
$stmt = $db->prepare($query);
if ($public)
{
$stmt->bindParam(':id', $subject_id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindValue(':visile', 2, PDO::PARAM_INT);
}
else
{
$stmt->bindParam(':id', $subject_id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
}
$stmt->execute();
$affected_rows = $stmt->rowCount();
if ($affected_rows == 1)
{
$subject = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
return $subject;
}
}
else
{
return null;
}
}

Answer 1

$affected_rows = $stmt->rowCount(); might give you unexpected results as according to the manual:
For most databases, PDOStatement::rowCount() does not return the
number of rows affected by a SELECT statement.
You should fetch a row directly and see what the result is:
$stmt->execute();
if ($subject = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
return $subject;
}
else
{
return null;
}
And I would recommend opening your database connection as I mentioned in my comment:
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=name;charset=utf8', 'root',
'whatewer', array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING));
That will cause PDO to throw exceptions and that will give you a clear error message whenever something goes wrong on any of the db calls.
