PHP PDO::prepare named parameter marker cannot be used more than once in a prepared statement emulated prepares💡 Result:
By default, PHP PDO prepared statements do not allow a named parameter marker to be used more than once in a single SQL statement [1][2]. When native prepared statements are used, the database driver expects each parameter marker to correspond to a unique binding, and repeating the same name will typically cause an error or unexpected behavior because the underlying database API cannot map multiple occurrences of the same name to the same value [3]. However, you can use the same named parameter multiple times if you enable emulated prepared statements [1][4]. This is done by setting the PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES attribute to true [5][4]: $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, true); When emulation mode is enabled, PDO does not send the query to the database server during the prepare phase [6]. Instead, it parses the SQL string in PHP, manually replaces the named placeholders with the provided values (using quoting where necessary), and sends the resulting fully-formed query to the database for execution [3][6]. Because this substitution happens entirely within PHP before the query is sent to the database, the restriction on repeating placeholders is bypassed [3]. While enabling emulation mode allows for repetitive named parameters, it is important to be aware of the trade-offs: 1. Security: While emulated prepares still protect against SQL injection by properly quoting values, native prepared statements are generally preferred as they provide a more robust separation of query logic and data at the database engine level [1][5]. 2. Behavior: Emulated prepares do not perform server-side validation of the SQL syntax during the prepare phase, meaning you may only discover syntax errors when the query is actually executed [6]. If you prefer to keep emulation mode disabled (the default in most modern PDO configurations), the standard solution is to use unique names for each placeholder (e.g.,:name1,:name2) and bind the same value to each one [2][4].

Use distinct PDO markers for the two schema predicates.
When native prepares are enabled, PDO does not support reusing
:database.MariaDBaccepts caller-supplied PDO connections, so the emulated-prepare default is not enforced. Bind$databaseto two distinct markers.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
