MYSQL Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value

Question

When the SQL query below is executed:

UPDATE shop_category 
SET name = \'Secolul XVI - XVIII\' 
    AND name_eng = \'16th to 18th centuries\' 
WHERE category         


        

Answer 1

I experienced this error when using bindParam, and specifying PDO::PARAM_INT where I was actually passing a string. Changing to PDO::PARAM_STR fixed the error.
