# prepareSp

Support for this function is limited. See the feature compatibility matrix

prepare

##### Syntax

    mixed prepareSp (
        string $procedureName
    )

## Description

The function `prepareSP()` accesses an existing stored procedure. If the stored procedure is valid the function return a resource otherwise it returns false.

## PrepareSp Correct Usage

`prepareSp` should only be used with database drivers that support direct access to the procedures. It should not be passed an SQL statement that might access the procedure so, assuming a stored procedure `PROC_LIST` exists, the statement:

    $db->prepareSp('PROC_LIST')

is correct, however

     $db->prepareSp('CALL PROC_LIST')

is not.

## Usage

    /*
     * Connection to SQL Server database
    */

    /*
     * Accessing an existing stored procedure called kmnProc
     */
    $stmt = $db->PrepareSP('kmnProc');
    $val1 = 'ADMIN';
    $par1 = 'users';
    $db->InParameter($stmt,$val1,$par1);
    $db->OutParameter($stmt,$ret,'RETVAL');
