mssql_bind
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5, PECL odbtp >= 1.1.1)
mssql_bind — Adds a parameter to a stored procedure or a remote stored procedure
Description
Binds a parameter to a stored procedure or a remote stored procedure.
Parameters
- stmt
- 
      Statement resource, obtained with mssql_init(). 
- param_name
- 
      The parameter name, as a string. Note: You have to include the @ character, like in the T-SQL syntax. See the explanation included in mssql_execute(). 
- var
- 
      The PHP variable you'll bind the MSSQL parameter to. It is passed by reference, to retrieve OUTPUT and RETVAL values after the procedure execution. 
- type
- 
      One of: SQLTEXT, SQLVARCHAR, SQLCHAR, SQLINT1, SQLINT2, SQLINT4, SQLBIT, SQLFLT4, SQLFLT8, SQLFLTN. 
- is_output
- 
      Whether the value is an OUTPUT parameter or not. If it's an OUTPUT parameter and you don't mention it, it will be treated as a normal input parameter and no error will be thrown. 
- is_null
- 
      Whether the parameter is NULL or not. Passing the NULL value as var will not do the job. 
- maxlen
- 
      Used with char/varchar values. You have to indicate the length of the data so if the parameter is a varchar(50), the type must be SQLVARCHAR and this value 50. 
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
