implementing PHP 8.2 and PDO prepared statements not binding parameters correctly
I'm refactoring my project and I'm testing a new approach and I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm experiencing a frustrating scenario with PHP 8.2 when using PDO for database interactions. Specifically, when I prepare a statement and bind parameters, it seems like the parameters are not being bound correctly, resulting in SQL execution errors. For instance, I have the following code: ```php try { $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'user', 'password'); $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id AND status = :status'); $userId = 1; $status = 'active'; $stmt->bindParam(':id', $userId, PDO::PARAM_INT); $stmt->bindParam(':status', $status, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt->execute(); $result = $stmt->fetchAll(); } catch (PDOException $e) { echo 'behavior: ' . $e->getMessage(); } ``` Despite the code appearing correct, I get the following behavior: `SQLSTATE[HY000]: General behavior: 1 no such column: active`. This behavior indicates that it is trying to interpret the status value as a column name instead of a string parameter. I've verified that the `status` field exists in the `users` table. I've tried using `bindValue` instead of `bindParam`, but that didn't seem to resolve the scenario. Additionally, I've confirmed that the database connection is operating correctly and that other queries work fine. Is there a known scenario with PDO in PHP 8.2, or am I missing something in my parameter binding process? I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. What's the best practice here? My development environment is Ubuntu. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Could this be a known issue? This is part of a larger microservice I'm building. Am I missing something obvious? I'm working with Php in a Docker container on Windows 11. Is there a better approach?
