Question

I am using Zend_Db with the Pdo_Mysql driver. This query does not give any results:

$s = $db->prepare('SELECT ET.id
                    FROM elementTypes AS ET, language AS L1 
                    WHERE L1.strId = ET.dispName AND L1.language = ?');
$s->execute(array(2));                                          
pr($s->fetchAll());

If I hardcode the parameter, the expected rows are returned.

What is going on here?

Eidt 2: I have drilled further down and found that the problem lies with PDO and comparing ENUMS with ints. See this question: PDO cannot compare mysql ENUM using integers in prepared statements
If you know any fixes/workarounds on how to get this to work on Zend_Db, please post! :)**

Answer 1

The reason why the statement does not work is that L1.language is an ENUM, and you cannot compare ENUMS with integers in Zend_Db / PDO.

Why, and how to avoid this is explaied in this question: PDO cannot compare mysql ENUM using integers in prepared statements
