Question

Ok. We can call MySQL procedures in Codeigniter like this:

$buf = array('something', NULL); //array of vars
$this->db->query("CALL some_proc(?, ?)", $buf); //calling stored procedure

But if I have huge array (25-30 items), is there a smoother way to call MySQL routine using arrays? Something better than $this->db->query(“CALL some_proc(?, ?, ?, ? …”);
Thanks in Advance!

Well… You can $this->db->escape() them before and parse string.

$arr_cols = array('value_1', 'value_2', 'value_3');
foreach(array_keys($arr_cols) as $h)
    $arr_cols[$h] = $this->db->escape($arr_cols[$h]);

$str_cols = implode(', ', $arr_cols);

$this->db->query("CALL some_proc({$str_cols})");
