mysql bind variables with php

[Anon]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use any kind of bind variables to make the queries run faster. In perl I use;

$sth=$dbh->prepare(”select * from table where name = ?”); $sth->execute(”Henrik”);

Can I do it in PHP?

Thanks / Henrik

MySQL does not support BIND variables.
The DBI only emulates BIND variables, so I doubt that it is actually faster :-)
