Using a straight PHP-level substitution like that performs the substitution before the SQL parser sees it. It’s also super dangerous if you’re not absolutely sure there’s no path for an untrusted agent to inject the name you’re selecting on.

I am using PHP with SQLite on an Apache server. That statement was taken from some advice I got from a forum. I wasn't aware it was MySQL. I am new to SQLite and this is my first database. *"Table/column names cannot use parameters. You have to put it directly* *into the string:"* I guess however there must be a way, because for example with SELECT it works. The query below works perfectly using variables: $results = $db->query("SELECT \"$DbItemName\" FROM Anagrafica WHERE hID=\"$hId\"")->fetchArray(); Cheers Edmondo On Fri, 21 Jul 2017 at 12:24, Clemens Ladisch <clem...@ladisch.de> wrote: > Edmondo Borasio wrote: > > $stmt->bind_param($p_name,$bind_value); > > This looks like PHP's MySQL driver.
