hi all of u,
i got a simple question, why (1) is valid, however, (2) is not ?!!
(1) sorting order is explicity typed in the query statement:
$sth = $dbh->prepare("select student_name from students order by
first_name
asc");
$sth->execute();
(2) sorting order is passed as a bind parameter:
$sort = 'asc';
$sth = $dbh->prepare("select student_name from students order by first_name
?");
$sth->execute($sort);thx v. much -- Hytham Shehab
