Preparing SQL Statements with PDO

Question

My code looks like this:

// Connect to SQLite DB
DB(\'/path/to/sqlite.db\');

DB(\'BEGIN TRANSACTION;\');

// These loops are just examples.
for ($i = 1; $i          


        

Answer 1

Why do you use prepared statements if you "prepare" them in the loop ? (in the DB function)

Make a prepare befor the loop, and in the loop just give the values and execute. Of course this would require a rewrite of your DB method.

Oh and btw. is your ID column the primary key ? if so you have another problem couse "i" would be for 100 "j" the same :)

For example:

$sth = $dbh->prepare('INSERT INTO "test" ("id", "name") VALUES (:id, :name)');
$j=0;
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10000; $i++){
   $j = ($j==100) ? 0 : $j++;
   $sth->execute(array(':id' => $i, ':name' => 'Testing ' . $j));     
}
