   (PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )
   odbc_execute -- Execute a prepared statement

Description

   bool odbc_execute ( resource result_id [, array parameters_array])

   Executes a statement prepared with odbc_prepare().Returns TRUE on
   success or FALSE on failure. The array parameters_array only needs to
   be given if you really have parameters in your statement.

   Parameters in parameter_array will be substituted for placeholders in
   the prepared statement in order.

   Any parameters in parameter_array which start and end with single
   quotes will be taken as the name of a file to read and send to the
   database server as the data for the appropriate placeholder.

     Note: As of PHP 4.1.1, this file reading functionality has the
     following restrictions:

     * File reading is not subject to any safe mode or open-basedir
       restrictions. This is fixed in PHP 4.2.0.
     * Remote files are not supported.
     * If you wish to store a string which actually begins and ends with
       single quotes, you must escape them or add a space or other
       non-single-quote character to the beginning or end of the
       parameter, which will prevent the parameter's being taken as a
       file name. If this is not an option, then you must use another
       mechanism to store the string, such as executing the query
       directly with odbc_exec()).
