mssql_bind — Adds a parameter to a stored procedure or a remote stored procedure
Binds a parameter to a stored procedure or a remote stored procedure.
Statement resource, obtained with mssql_init().
The parameter name, as a string.
Note: You have to include the @ character, like in the T-SQL syntax. See the explanation included in mssql_execute().
The PHP variable you'll bind the MSSQL parameter to. You can pass it by value, or by reference, to retrieve OUTPUT and RETVAL values after the procedure execution.
One of: SQLTEXT, SQLVARCHAR, SQLCHAR, SQLINT1, SQLINT2, SQLINT4, SQLBIT, SQLFLT4, SQLFLT8, SQLFLTN.
Whether the value is an OUTPUT parameter or not. If it's an OUTPUT parameter and you don't mention it, it will be treated as a normal input parameter and no error will be thrown.
Whether the parameter is NULL or not. Passing the NULL value as var will not do the job.
Used with char/varchar values. You have to indicate the length of the data so if the parameter is a varchar(50), the type must be SQLVARCHAR and this value 50.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

$sp = mssql_init("WDumpAdd"); // stored proc name
mssql_bind($sp, "@productname", stripslashes($newproduct), SQLVARCHAR, false, false, 150);
mssql_bind($sp, "@quantity", stripslashes($newquantity), SQLVARCHAR, false, false, 50);
mssql_execute($sp);
