Question

i have a variable that receive the string like this:

'BA','RJ','SC'

and i need to send to db in this format as a string, but i’m getting the error:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol “BA” when expecting one of the following: ) , * & | = – +

i print the $sql to see how the values are going to:

BEGIN TWD_WEB_CRM.PESQUISA_CLIENTES(1,''BA','RJ','SC'','132','',:status,:refc); END;

so, this is how i’m passing with php to the procedure:

$sql = "BEGIN TWD_WEB_CRM.PESQUISA_CLIENTES(".$codemp.",'".$estados."','".$diac."','".$dian."',:status,:refc); END;";

the variable $estados receive: 'BA','RJ','SC'

so, my question is:

how can i pass this kind of string with ' and , to my procedure using php ?

i try with \ but didin’t work.

what i’m missing ?

any question, by my guest.

Thanks.

Edit

  BEGIN TWD_WEB_CRM.PESQUISA_CLIENTES
  (

      1,
      ''BA','RJ','SC'',  // this supposed to be 1 field with strings...
      '132',
      '',
      :status,
      :refc
  ); 
  END;

In Oracle, escape single quotes by doubling them. This will treat the full comma-separated string as one string literal with escaped quotes.

''BA'',''RJ'',''SC''

This assumes I understand correctly and you are passing these values as a string literal.

Ultimately, your query should look like:\

BEGIN TWD_WEB_CRM.PESQUISA_CLIENTES
  (

      1,
      '''BA'',''RJ'',''SC''',  // <-- Doubled quotes inside the quoted string.
      '132',
      '',
      :status,
      :refc
  ); 
  END;
