So if I use the execute() method, will all ? placeholders still be replaced with getTextValue($value) ? I have a large table with only varchar columns so that would save a lot of time.

Yes the default type used for replacement is text ... however you can optionally also pass an array with the type of the input parameters ..

iirc

it's the 4th parameter to execute()

Thanks again. ! as a placeholder does not seem to be supported though - is that right?

Correct .. use the optional 4th parameter instead. MDB simply supports too many characters to make it worthwhile adding parameters for each like in DB.

One last question (have to make the most from your ultra short response time :-) the docs on backendmedia, are they for MDB 2.x or 1.x? I guess I really should be using the docs on the pear site but not all methods seem to be documented there, the debugging methods for instance.

They are for MDB 1.x I simply dont have the time to add docs for all the methods. I am adding some every time someone spots a bug or I have some time. Any help would be greatly appreciated of course. For MDB 2.x I will make use of phpDocumentor for the boring API part. Actually I (or someone else) could do his for MDB 1.x too. Well I have phpDocumentor running? I've never generated PEAR docs though (I've done my own classes just the default output). I heard you can output Docbook XML but that's where my knowledge ends. I would like to help out though, but like yourself I also don't have much time. Jeroen
