All, Can I do this?
$sth->bind_param_inout($#execute_args+1,\$new_id,38); $sth->execute(@execute_args); When I try I get the following error Can't rebind or change param :p6 in/out mode after first bind (1 => 0) at ........... I wish to pass several arguments, into the sth, I wish to use placeholders so I can cache this $sth, So in mysql, I would have used the 'last_insert_id' mechanism to get my auto incremented number, but I'm now using oracle, and I'd found an example of using bind_param_inout but without any args to execute, which uses my autoincrement sequence. Can anybody shed some light on this? Regards Marty ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
