  3. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Core/Database/Connection.php \Drupal\Core\Database\Connection::expandArguments()

Expands out shorthand placeholders.

Drupal supports an alternate syntax for doing arrays of values. We therefore need to expand them out into a full, executable query string.

Parameters

string $query: The query string to modify.

array $args: The arguments for the query.

Return value

bool TRUE if the query was modified, FALSE otherwise.

Throws

\InvalidArgumentException This exception is thrown when:

  • A placeholder that ends in [] is supplied, and the supplied value is not an array.
  • A placeholder that does not end in [] is supplied, and the supplied value is an array.

            // This assumes that there are no other placeholders that use the same
            // name.  For example, if the array placeholder is defined as :example[]

            // a duplicate key.  We do not account for that as the calling code

        $query = str_replace($key, implode(', ', array_keys($new_keys)), $query);
