Question

I am using named placeholders like so:

    $job['services_flag'] = 0;

    $SQL = "INSERT INTO jobs (
                        services_flag
                    )
                    VALUES (
                        :services_flag
                    )";

    $STH = $DBH->prepare($SQL);
    $STH->execute($job);

However, this insists on inserting 1.

If I don’t use named placeholders:

    $SQL = "INSERT INTO jobs (
                        services_flag
                    )
                    VALUES (
                        0
                    )";

    $STH = $DBH->prepare($SQL);
    $STH->execute();

Then it inserts 0. Eh?

Update:
The data type of the services_flag field in my SQL database is BIT. I don’t know if that makes any difference.

Answer 1

This is a known bug with BIT type, you should use bindParam for it
