cubrid_query — Send a CUBRID query

### Description

cubrid_query(string `$query`, resource `$conn_identifier` = ?): resource

cubrid_query() sends a unique query (multiple queries are not supported) to the currently active database on the server that's associated with the specified `conn_identifier`.

### Parameters

`query`

  An SQL query

  Data inside the query should be properly escaped.

`conn_identifier`

  The CUBRID connection. If the connection identifier is not specified, the last connection opened by cubrid_connect() is assumed.

### Return Values

For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN and other statements returning resultset, cubrid_query() returns a resource on success, or `false` on error.

For other type of SQL statements, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc, cubrid_query() returns `true` on success or `false` on error.

The returned result resource should be passed to cubrid_fetch_array(), and other functions for dealing with result tables, to access the returned data.

Use cubrid_num_rows() to find out how many rows were returned for a SELECT statement or cubrid_affected_rows() to find out how many rows were affected by a DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, or UPDATE statement.

cubrid_query() will also fail and return `false` if the user does not have permission to access the table(s) referenced by the query.

### Examples

Example #1 Invalid Query

The following query is syntactically invalid, so cubrid_query() fails and returns `false`.

    <?php$conn = cubrid_connect('localhost', 33000, 'demodb');$result = cubrid_query('SELECT * WHERE 1=1');if (!$result) {    die('Invalid query: ' . cubrid_error());}?>

Example #2 Valid Query

The following query is valid, so cubrid_query() returns a resource.

    <?php// This could be supplied by a user, for example$firstname = 'fred';$lastname  = 'fox';$conn = cubrid_connect('localhost', 33000, 'demodb');cubrid_execute($conn,"DROP TABLE if exists friends");cubrid_execute($conn,"create table friends(firstname varchar,lastname varchar,address char(24),age int)");cubrid_execute($conn,"insert into friends values('fred','fox','home-1','20')");cubrid_execute($conn,"insert into friends values('blue','cat','home-2','21')");// Formulate Query// This is the best way to perform an SQL query// For more examples, see cubrid_real_escape_string()$query = sprintf("SELECT firstname, lastname, address, age FROM friends WHERE firstname='%s' AND lastname='%s'",cubrid_real_escape_string($firstname),cubrid_real_escape_string($lastname));// Perform Query$result = cubrid_query($query);// Check result// This shows the actual query sent to CUBRID, and the error. Useful for debugging.if (!$result) {    $message  = 'Invalid query: ' . cubrid_error() . "\n";    $message .= 'Whole query: ' . $query;    die($message);}// Use result// Attempting to print $result won't allow access to information in the resource// One of the cubrid result functions must be used// See also cubrid_result(), cubrid_fetch_array(), cubrid_fetch_row(), etc.while ($row = cubrid_fetch_assoc($result)) {    echo $row['firstname'];    echo $row['lastname'];    echo $row['address'];    echo $row['age'];}// Free the resources associated with the result set// This is done automatically at the end of the scriptcubrid_free_result($result);?>
