7.x DatabaseHandler.php	DatabaseHandler::db_query($sql_query, $args = array())
6.x DatabaseHandler.php	DatabaseHandler::db_query($sql_query, $args = array())

This function is used to perform a database query. It uses PDO execute, which will take automatically replace ? with variables you supply as the arguments to this function, or as an array to this function. Either will work. Do this by using ?, or naming the variable like :name or :age.

For example: $result = $db->db_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = ? and age = ? ", $name, $temp_age); or $result = $db->db_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = ? AND age = ? ", array($name, $temp_age)); or $result = $db->db_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = :name ", array(":name" => $name));

  // replacement patterns.

    // of passing them directly.  So use them directly as our args.

    // If we were supplied an array, then we need to see if the NEW args[0] is an array...  If it is, grab the first element AGAIN.
    if (isset($args [0]) && is_array($args [0])) {
      $args = $args [0];
    }
  }


  // We need to make sure that arguments are passed without being contained in single quotes ('?').  Should be just ?

  // If $c (number of replacements performed) does not match the number of replacements
  // specified, warn the user.

     * Don't do this anymore, as it might throw off queries that don't use ?'s, but instead use :var  as the replacements.
