This page is really not clear for the function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.execute.php

I’m not exactly sure why I would bindParam as oppose to just passing in an array. With bindParam, I’ll have to specify the type.

So my question would be, if I just do $stmt->execute(array("somevalue", b'somebinarydata', 10203, 201.3));, would the types be automatically recognized? Is there anything I have be aware of?

Thanks.

    The answer is No, The PHP manual states:

    An array of values with as many elements as there are bound parameters in the SQL statement being executed. All values are treated as PDO::PARAM_STR.

    the page stating the entity PDO::PARAM_STR states:

    Represents the SQL CHAR, VARCHAR, or other string data type.
