# pg_send_execute

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0RC1)

pg_send_execute -- Sends a request to execute a prepared statement with given parameters, without waiting for the result(s).

## Description

bool pg_send_execute ( resource connection, string stmtname, array params )

Sends a request to execute a prepared statement with given parameters, without waiting for the result(s).

This is similar to pg_send_query_params(), but the command to be executed is specified by naming a previously-prepared statement, instead of giving a query string. The function's parameters are handled identically to pg_execute(). Like pg_execute(), it will not work on pre-7.4 versions of PostgreSQL.

## Parameters

connection

  PostgreSQL database connection resource. When connection is not present, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().

stmtname

  The name of the prepared statement to execute. if "" is specified, then the unnamed statement is executed. The name must have been previously prepared using pg_prepare(), pg_send_prepare() or a PREPARE SQL command.

params

  An array of parameter values to substitute for the $1, $2, etc. placeholders in the original prepared query string. The number of elements in the array must match the number of placeholders.

## Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on failure. Use pg_get_result() to determine the query result.

## Examples

Example 1. Using pg_send_execute()
`<?php $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect"); // Prepare a query for execution if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) { pg_send_prepare($dbconn, "my_query", 'SELECT * FROM shops WHERE name = $1'); $res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn); } // Execute the prepared query. Note that it is not necessary to escape // the string "Joe's Widgets" in any way if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) { pg_send_execute($dbconn, "my_query", array("Joe's Widgets")); $res2 = pg_get_result($dbconn); } // Execute the same prepared query, this time with a different parameter if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) { pg_send_execute($dbconn, "my_query", array("Clothes Clothes Clothes")); $res3 = pg_get_result($dbconn); } ?>`
