Getting raw SQL query string from PDO prepared statements

Question

Is there a way to get the raw SQL string executed when calling PDOStatement::execute() on a prepared statement? For debugging purposes this would be extremely useful.

Somewhat related... if you are just trying to sanitize a particular variable you can use PDO::quote. For example, to search for multiple partial LIKE conditions if you're stuck with a limited framework like CakePHP:

$pdo = $this->getDataSource()->getConnection();
$results = $this->find('all', array(
    'conditions' => array(
        'Model.name LIKE ' . $pdo->quote("%{$keyword1}%"),
        'Model.name LIKE ' . $pdo->quote("%{$keyword2}%"),
    ),
);
