# sqlite_exec

(PHP 5)

sqlite_exec

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

SQLiteDatabase->exec -- Executes a result-less query against a given database

## Description

bool sqlite_exec ( resource dbhandle, string query [, string &error_msg] )
bool sqlite_exec ( string query, resource dbhandle )

Object oriented style (method):

class SQLiteDatabase {
bool queryExec ( string query [, string &error_msg] )
}

Executes an SQL statement given by the `query` against a given database handle (specified by the `dbhandle` parameter).

Warning
SQLite will execute multiple queries separated by semicolons, so you can use it to execute a batch of SQL that you have loaded from a file or have embedded in a script.

## Parameters

`dbhandle`

  The SQLite Database resource; returned from sqlite_open() when used procedurally. This parameter is not required when using the object-oriented method.

`query`

  The query to be executed.

`error_msg`

  The specified variable will be filled if an error occurs. This is specially important because SQL syntax errors can't be fetched using the sqlite_last_error() function.

> Note: Two alternative syntaxes are supported for compatibility with other database extensions (such as MySQL). The preferred form is the first, where the `dbhandle` parameter is the first parameter to the function.

## Return Values

This function will return a boolean result; `TRUE` for success or `FALSE` for failure. If you need to run a query that returns rows, see sqlite_query().

The column names returned by `SQLITE_ASSOC` and `SQLITE_BOTH` will be case-folded according to the value of the sqlite.assoc_case configuration option.

## ChangeLog

Version | Description
--- | ---
5.1.0 | Added the `error_msg` parameter

## Examples

Example 1. Procedural example

`<?php $dbhandle = sqlite_open('mysqlitedb'); $query = sqlite_exec($dbhandle, "UPDATE users SET email='jDoe@example.com' WHERE username='jDoe'", $error); if (!$query) { exit("Error in query: '$error'"); } else { echo 'Number of rows modified: ', sqlite_changes($dbhandle); } ?>`

Example 2. Object-oriented example

`<?php $dbhandle = new SQLiteDatabase('mysqlitedb'); $query = $dbhandle->queryExec("UPDATE users SET email='jDoe@example.com' WHERE username='jDoe'", $error); if (!$query) { exit("Error in query: '$error'"); } else { echo 'Number of rows modified: ', $dbhandle->changes(); } ?>`
