How can a user input string be passed to a stored procedure in PHP?

To pass a user input string to a stored procedure in PHP, you can use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks. This involves binding the user input to placeholders in the SQL query before executing it. By doing this, the user input is treated as data rather than executable SQL code, making the query safe to execute. 

// Assuming $userInput contains the user input string
$userInput = $_POST['user_input'];

// Prepare the SQL query with a placeholder for the user input
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("CALL your_stored_procedure(?)");

// Bind the user input to the placeholder and execute the query
$stmt->bindParam(1, $userInput, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();
