this answer is misleading. PDO is not a magic wand that protects your queries by a mere presence. You ought to substitute every variable in your query with a placeholder to get a protection from PDO.

Do you have any resources or further explain what you mean? when you say substitute every variable in your query with a placeholder do you mean the bindvalue thing?

@Daniel L. VanDenBosch we might call these host variables? Most embedded SQL systems call them that. If they are not placeholders they are constants, even if the value gets to a host field that can hold other values. Minimising the number of variables provides for a predictable access path, but reduces re-usability obviously.
