Description:
------------
PHP segfaults when using PDO: PGSQL and prepared statements with bindParam() and execute().

Reproduce code:
---------------
$dsn = 'pgsql:...';
$user = '...';
$pass = '...';
$db = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);
$statement = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO testinggrounds (name, data) VALUES (:name, :data)");
$statement->execute(array('date', date('r')));
echo "First statement OK\n";
$statement->bindParam(':name', $name);
$statement->bindParam(':data', $data);
echo "Params bound to PHP variables\n";
// Insert a row
$name = 'date';
$data = 'test';
$statement->execute();
echo "Second statement OK\n";

Expected result:
----------------
First statement OK
Params bound to PHP variables
Second statement OK

Actual result:
--------------
First statement OK
Params bound to PHP variables
Segmentation fault

Actually, the same thing happens when doing:

$statement->execute(array('name' => 'date', 'data' => 'Foo!'));

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Fixed in CVS.
Try the next snapshot to confirm.

FYI, the problem stems from you binding parameters both by name and by position.  If you change your first execute call to this:

  $statement->execute(array(':name'=>'date',
     ':data'=>date('r')));

then PDO won't crash.

The fix in CVS allows your original script to run successfully, but you shouldn't rely on being able to mix binding by number and by name on the same statement; some drivers may report invalid parameter name or number when you do that.

Ah, I see. I'll remember that.

Theoretically though, I really don't see why there should be a problem binding a parameter to more than one variable, regardless of how you bind it. Isn't the idea that the bound variables should act as references to the internal statement value? I.e.
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar=:bar");
$stmt->bindParam(1, $bar1);
$stmt->bindParam(":bar", $bar2);

$bar1 and $bar2 should now point to the same internal variable.

I don't know exactly how PDO does this internally, and I'm sure there's a reason why this isn't a good idea (how the RDBMS APIs with native support for statements handle this for example), but theoretically it should work that way, shouldn't it?

Anyways, I just tested with the latest snapshot, and it works perfectly!

Thank you, and keep up the good work!
