# sqlsrv_query

(No version information available, might only be in SVN)

sqlsrv_query — Prepares and executes a query.

### Description

mixed sqlsrv_query ( resource `$conn` , string `$sql` [, array `$params` [, array `$options` ]] )

Prepares and executes a query.

### Parameters

`conn`

  A connection resource returned by sqlsrv_connect().

`sql`

  The string that defines the query to be prepared and executed.

`params`

  An array specifying parameter information when executing a parameterized query. Array elements can be any of the following:

  - A literal value
  - A PHP variable
  - An array with this structure: array($value [, $direction [, $phpType [, $sqlType]]])
  The following table describes the elements in the array structure above:

  Array structure
  Element | Description
  --- | ---
  $value | A literal value, a PHP variable, or a PHP by-reference variable.
  $direction (optional) | One of the following SQLSRV constants used to indicate the parameter direction: SQLSRV_PARAM_IN, SQLSRV_PARAM_OUT, SQLSRV_PARAM_INOUT. The default value is SQLSRV_PARAM_IN.
  $phpType (optional) | A SQLSRV_PHPTYPE_* constant that specifies PHP data type of the returned value.
  $sqlType (optional) | A SQLSRV_SQLTYPE_* constant that specifies the SQL Server data type of the input value.

`options`

  An array specifing query property options. The supported keys are described in the following table:

  Query Options
  Key | Values | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  QueryTimeout | A positive integer value. | Sets the query timeout in seconds. By default, the driver will wait indefinitely for results.
  SendStreamParamsAtExec | `TRUE` or `FALSE` (the default is `TRUE`) | Configures the driver to send all stream data at execution (`TRUE`), or to send stream data in chunks (`FALSE`). By default, the value is set to `TRUE`. For more information, see sqlsrv_send_stream_data().
  Scrollable | SQLSRV_CURSOR_FORWARD, SQLSRV_CURSOR_STATIC, SQLSRV_CURSOR_DYNAMIC, or SQLSRV_CURSOR_KEYSET | See » Specifying a Cursor Type and Selecting Rows in the Microsoft SQLSRV documentation.

### Return Values

Returns a statement resource on success and `FALSE` if an error occurred.

### Examples

Example #1 sqlsrv_query() example

`<?php
$serverName = "serverName\sqlexpress";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"username", "PWD"=>"password" );
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO Table_1 (id, data) VALUES (?, ?)";
$params = array(1, "some data");
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql, $params);
if( $stmt === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>`

### Notes

For statements that you plan to execute only once, use sqlsrv_query(). If you intend to re-execute a statement with different parameter values, use the combination of sqlsrv_prepare() and sqlsrv_execute().
