If you wish to store a string which actually begins and ends with
single quotes, you must add a space or other non-single-quote character
to the beginning or end of the parameter, which will prevent the
parameter from being taken as a file name. If this is not an option,
then you must use another mechanism to store the string, such as
executing the query directly with <span class="function"><a href="function.odbc-exec.html" class="function">odbc_exec()</a></span>).

If you need to call a stored procedure using INOUT or OUT parameters,
the recommended workaround is to use a native extension for your database
