En cuanto a la pregunta principal en este hilo, las otras publicaciones dejaron en claro por qué no podemos vincular valores a los nombres de columna al preparar declaraciones, por lo que aquí hay una solución:
class myPdo{
private $user = 'dbuser';
private $pass = 'dbpass';
private $host = 'dbhost';
private $db = 'dbname';
private $pdo;
private $dbInfo;
public function __construct($type){
$this->pdo = new PDO('mysql:host='.$this->host.';dbname='.$this->db.';charset=utf8',$this->user,$this->pass);
if(isset($type)){
//when class is called upon, it stores column names and column types from the table of you choice in $this->dbInfo;
$stmt = "select distinct column_name,column_type from information_schema.columns where table_name='sometable';";
$stmt = $this->pdo->prepare($stmt);//not really necessary since this stmt doesn't contain any dynamic values;
$stmt->execute();
$this->dbInfo = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}
}
public function pdo_param($col){
$param_type = PDO::PARAM_STR;
foreach($this->dbInfo as $k => $arr){
if($arr['column_name'] == $col){
if(strstr($arr['column_type'],'int')){
$param_type = PDO::PARAM_INT;
break;
}
}
}//for testing purposes i only used INT and VARCHAR column types. Adjust to your needs...
return $param_type;
}
public function columnIsAllowed($col){
$colisAllowed = false;
foreach($this->dbInfo as $k => $arr){
if($arr['column_name'] === $col){
$colisAllowed = true;
break;
}
}
return $colisAllowed;
}
public function q($data){
//$data is received by post as a JSON object and looks like this
//{"data":{"column_a":"value","column_b":"value","column_c":"value"},"get":"column_x"}
$data = json_decode($data,TRUE);
$continue = true;
foreach($data['data'] as $column_name => $value){
if(!$this->columnIsAllowed($column_name)){
$continue = false;
//means that someone possibly messed with the post and tried to get data from a column that does not exist in the current table, or the column name is a sql injection string and so on...
break;
}
}
//since $data['get'] is also a column, check if its allowed as well
if(isset($data['get']) && !$this->columnIsAllowed($data['get'])){
$continue = false;
}
if(!$continue){
exit('possible injection attempt');
}
//continue with the rest of the func, as you normally would
$stmt = "SELECT DISTINCT ".$data['get']." from sometable WHERE ";
foreach($data['data'] as $k => $v){
$stmt .= $k.' LIKE :'.$k.'_val AND ';
}
$stmt = substr($stmt,0,-5)." order by ".$data['get'];
//$stmt should look like this
//SELECT DISTINCT column_x from sometable WHERE column_a LIKE :column_a_val AND column_b LIKE :column_b_val AND column_c LIKE :column_c_val order by column_x
$stmt = $this->pdo->prepare($stmt);
//obviously now i have to bindValue()
foreach($data['data'] as $k => $v){
$stmt->bindValue(':'.$k.'_val','%'.$v.'%',$this->pdo_param($k));
//setting PDO::PARAM... type based on column_type from $this->dbInfo
}
$stmt->execute();
return $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);//or whatever
}
}
$pdo = new myPdo('anything');//anything so that isset() evaluates to TRUE.
var_dump($pdo->q($some_json_object_as_described_above));
Lo anterior es solo un ejemplo, por lo que no hace falta decir que copiar-> pegar no funcionará. Ajústate a tus necesidades. Ahora, esto puede no proporcionar un 100% de seguridad, pero permite cierto control sobre los nombres de columna cuando "entran" como cadenas dinámicas y pueden modificarse en los usuarios finales. Además, no es necesario crear una matriz con los nombres y tipos de columnas de la tabla, ya que se extraen del esquema de información.
array('u'=>'users', 't'=>'table', 'n'=>'nonsensitive_data')
etc.)
