Question

I have a SQL update statement I am running from inside a PHP program. It is prepared and then executed. When I run it in PHP, it reports a constraint violation. When I run the exact same statement from the command line (which I am getting via dBug()), it works with no errors. This sounds impossible, so I keep looking for differences between the statements. The only thing I can see is that when I execute it with an array of arguments, they all appear to be chars, when some should be integers.

Any suggestions for where to look?

Here is the PHP version (I tweaked it a little to make it more legible):

$st =& $db->prepare("update tbl set uid=?, frequency=? other_id=? where id=$id");
$values = array($uid, $freq, $other_id);
$res =& $db->execute($st, $values);
new dBug ($res);

Well, hate to say it, but the problem was with my copy and paste. I was using dBug to show the values and sleep to pause while I read them, but since I could not copy and paste I had to retype the query. And I typo’d one of the values. Thanks for your efforts, but as usual: operator error.
