PHP PDO编写的查询拒绝正确执行 - 转义问题？

Question

I'm having a problem with a query prepared in PHP with PDO. The code:

$link = new PDO("mysql:dbname=$dbname;host=127.0.0.1",$username,$password);
$link->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$query = $link->prepare("SELECT locality_name FROM :passedday GROUP BY locality_name ORDER BY locality_name DESC");
$query->bindParam(":passedday",$day); //Where day is, well, a day passed to the script elsewhere
$query->execute();
$result = $query->fetchAll();
$link = null;
//Do things with the $result.

The error message I am getting is:

SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''05_26_09' GROUP BY locality_name ORDER BY locality_name DESC' at line 1

When I execute the query on the server directly, it returns the appropriate result set without any problem. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TIA.

Edit:

$day is passed as a GET argument. So, http://127.0.0.1/day.php?day=05_26_09 leads to $day = $_GET['day'];.

Answer 1

If 05_26_09 is supposed to bet the table's name, then I guess you've an escaping problem. Is your local operating system different from the live server?

I don't think you can use bindValue()/bindParam() for something else than values (eg. table name, field name). So I'm a bit suprised, that it works on your local system.
