How do I insert NULL values using PDO?

问题:

I'm using this code and I'm beyond frustration:

try {     $dbh = new PDO('mysql:dbname=' . DB . ';host=' . HOST, USER, PASS);     $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);     $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND, "SET NAMES 'utf8'"); } catch(PDOException $e) {     ... } $stmt = $dbh->prepare('INSERT INTO table(v1, v2, ...) VALUES(:v1, :v2, ...)'); $stmt->bindParam(':v1', PDO::PARAM_NULL); // --> Here's the problem 

PDO::PARAM_NULL, null, '', all of them fail and throw this error:

Fatal error: Cannot pass parameter 2 by reference in /opt/...

回答1:

I'm just learning PDO, but I think you need to use bindValue, not bindParam

bindParam takes a variable, to reference, and doesn't pull in a value at the time of calling bindParam. I found this in a comment on the php docs:

bindValue(':param', null, PDO::PARAM_INT); 

EDIT: P.S. You may be tempted to do this bindValue(':param', null, PDO::PARAM_NULL); but it did not work for everybody (thank you Will Shaver for reporting.)

回答2:

When using bindParam() you must pass in a variable, not a constant. So before that line you need to create a variable and set it to null

$myNull = null; $stmt->bindParam(':v1', $myNull, PDO::PARAM_NULL); 

You would get the same error message if you tried:

$stmt->bindParam(':v1', 5, PDO::PARAM_NULL); 

回答3:

When using INTEGER columns (that can be NULL) in MySQL, PDO has some (to me) unexpected behaviour.

If you use $stmt->execute(Array), you have to specify the literal NULL and cannot give NULL by variable reference. So this won't work:

// $val is sometimes null, but sometimes an integer $stmt->execute(array(     ':param' => $val )); // will cause the error 'incorrect integer value' when $val == null 

But this will work:

// $val again is sometimes null, but sometimes an integer $stmt->execute(array(     ':param' => isset($val) ? $val : null )); // no errors, inserts NULL when $val == null, inserts the integer otherwise 

Tried this on MySQL 5.5.15 with PHP 5.4.1

I had the same problem and I found this solution working with bindParam :

    bindParam(':param', $myvar = NULL, PDO::PARAM_INT); 

回答5:

For those who still have problems (Cannot pass parameter 2 by reference), define a variable with null value, not just pass null to PDO:

bindValue(':param', $n = null, PDO::PARAM_INT); 

Hope this helps.

If you want to insert NULL only when the value is empty or '', but insert the value when it is available.

A) Receives the form data using POST method, and calls function insert with those values.

insert( $_POST['productId'], // Will be set to NULL if empty             $_POST['productName'] ); // Will be to NULL if empty                                 

B) Evaluates if a field was not filled up by the user, and inserts NULL if that's the case.

public function insert( $productId, $productName ) {      $sql = "INSERT INTO products (  productId, productName )                  VALUES ( :productId, :productName )";      //IMPORTANT: Repace $db with your PDO instance     $query = $db->prepare($sql);       //Works with INT, FLOAT, ETC.     $query->bindValue(':productId',  !empty($productId)   ? $productId   : NULL, PDO::PARAM_INT);       //Works with strings.     $query->bindValue(':productName',!empty($productName) ? $productName : NULL, PDO::PARAM_STR);         $query->execute();       } 

For instance, if the user doesn't input anything on the productName field of the form, then $productName will be SET but EMPTY. So, you need check if it is empty(), and if it is, then insert NULL.

Tested on PHP 5.5.17

Good luck,

Try This.

$stmt->bindValue(':v1', null, PDO::PARAM_NULL); // --> insert null
