mysqli is a commonly used database extension that provides multiple ways to interact with the database. The mysqli_stmt class is part of the mysqli extension and is used to execute preprocessing statements. A common requirement is to capture and display error messages when executing SQL queries to help developers debug and fix problems. This article will introduce how to obtain detailed error information when executing SQL statements through mysqli_stmt::$error.

PDO (PHP Data Objects) provides a secure and flexible database operation method. The PDOStatement::rowCount function is a common method. It allows you to check the number of affected rows after an SQL statement is executed, thereby determining whether SQL is successfully executed. This method is especially useful for SQL statements that perform data modifications such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE.

In modern PHP development, security is one of the issues we must prioritize, especially when handling database queries. SQL Injection is a common attack method where attackers can manipulate databases by injecting malicious SQL code. Therefore, the rational use of Prepared Statements and PDOStatement::fetchObject methods can effectively prevent such risks.

When operating SQL Server in PHP (especially using SQLsrv extensions), we often encounter situations returned by stored procedures or batch query statements. To handle these result sets correctly, using sqlsrv_fetch_array() is not enough, we also need to use the sqlsrv_next_result() function with it. This article will explain how to use next_result() gracefully and safely to iterate through all returned result sets.
