PDO->sqliteCreateFunction() — Registers a User Defined Function for use in SQL statements

Descrierea

PDO
bool sqliteCreateFunction ( string $function_name , callback $callback [, int $num_args ] )
Avertizare

Această funcţie este EXPERIMENTALĂ. Comportamentul acestei funcţii, denumirea sa şi orice alte aspecte documentate în privinţa acestei funcţii pot să fie modificate fără preaviz într-o versiune viitoare a PHP. Utilizaţi această funcţie la propriul risc.

This method allows you to register a PHP function with SQLite as an UDF (User Defined Function), so that it can be called from within your SQL statements.

The UDF can be used in any SQL statement that can call functions, such as SELECT and UPDATE statements and also in triggers.

Parametri

function_name

The name of the function used in SQL statements.

callback

Callback function to handle the defined SQL function.

Notă: Callback functions should return a type understood by SQLite (i.e. scalar type).

num_args

Hint to the SQLite parser if the callback function accepts a predetermined number of arguments.

Valorile întroarse

Întoarce valoarea TRUE în cazul succesului sau FALSE în cazul eşecului.

Exemple

Example#1 PDO::sqliteCreateFunction() example

<?php
function md5_and_reverse($string
{
    return 
strrev(md5($string));
}

$db = new PDO('sqlite:sqlitedb');
$db->sqliteCreateFunction('md5rev''md5_and_reverse'1);
$rows $db->query('SELECT md5rev(filename) FROM files')->fetchAll();
?>

In this example, we have a function that calculates the md5 sum of a string, and then reverses it. When the SQL statement executes, it returns the value of the filename transformed by our function. The data returned in $rows contains the processed result.

The beauty of this technique is that you do not need to process the result using a foreach() loop after you have queried for the data.

Sfat

You can use PDO->sqliteCreateFunction() and PDO->sqliteCreateAggregate() to override SQLite native SQL functions.

Notă: This method is not available with the SQLite2 driver. Use the old style sqlite API for that instead.
