How can I pass an array of PDO parameters yet still specify their types?

Question

$sql = \"SELECT * FROM table WHERE id LIKE CONCAT(\'%\', :id, \'%\')
LIMIT :limit1, :limit2\";

I want to still use the array input like this:

Answer 1

Why bind limit values when they're not user input?

$start = 0;
$limit = 20;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id LIKE CONCAT('%', :id, '%')
    LIMIT $start, $limit";

Even if $start and $limit are determined from user input, say from a $_GET, you can test the value with is_int().
