pg_send_prepare — Sends a request to create a prepared statement with the given parameters, without waiting for completion

### Description

pg_send_prepare(PgSql\Connection `$connection`, string `$statement_name`, string `$query`): int|bool

Sends a request to create a prepared statement with the given parameters, without waiting for completion.

This is an asynchronous version of pg_prepare(): it returns `true` if it was able to dispatch the request, and `false` if not. After a successful call, call pg_get_result() to determine whether the server successfully created the prepared statement. The function's parameters are handled identically to pg_prepare(). Like pg_prepare(), it will not work on pre-7.4 versions of PostgreSQL.

### Parameters

`connection`

  An PgSql\Connection instance.

`statement_name`

  The name to give the prepared statement. Must be unique per-connection. If "" is specified, then an unnamed statement is created, overwriting any previously defined unnamed statement.

`query`

  The parameterized SQL statement. Must contain only a single statement. (multiple statements separated by semi-colons are not allowed.) If any parameters are used, they are referred to as $1, $2, etc.

### Return Values

Returns `true` on success, `false` or `0` on failure. Use pg_get_result() to determine the query result.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
8.1.0 | The `connection` parameter expects an PgSql\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

### Examples

Example #1 Using pg_send_prepare()

`<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");
// Prepare a query for execution
if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
pg_send_prepare($dbconn, "my_query", 'SELECT * FROM shops WHERE name = $1');
$res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
}
// Execute the prepared query. Note that it is not necessary to escape
// the string "Joe's Widgets" in any way
if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
pg_send_execute($dbconn, "my_query", array("Joe's Widgets"));
$res2 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
}
// Execute the same prepared query, this time with a different parameter
if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
pg_send_execute($dbconn, "my_query", array("Clothes Clothes Clothes"));
$res3 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
}
?>`
