Run view query in Symfony/propel - symfony1

Question

I've an existing project in Symfony 1.4/Propel 1.4
For database optimization purpose, I created a view of few tables. The function/ view query are as follow:
create function getPlayer() returns INTEGER DETERMINISTIC NO SQL return #getPlayer;
create view getPlay as
SELECT
CASE WHEN play.hiderid = getPlayer() THEN play.seekerid ELSE play.hiderid END AS opponent, play . *
FROM odd_play play, odd_match mat
WHERE (seekerid = getPlayer() OR hiderid = getPlayer())
AND play.id = mat.latestplay;
After creating above view, I can write following simple SQL query to get required data effectively.
select play.*
from (select #getPlayer:=1 p) p, getPlay play;
Now the problem is that, how to write this query in Symfony/Propel 1.4. Can someone please suggest how to write that query in propel 1.4?
Edit after J0K comments
I'm trying following
class GetplayPeer extends BaseGetplayPeer {
static public function getOpponents($player){
$con = Propel::getConnection();
$sql = "select play.* from (select #getPlayer:=:player p) ply, getPlay play;";
$stmt = $con->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindParam(":player",&$player,PDO::PARAM_INT);
$rs = $stmt->execute();
//$opponents = GetplayPeer::populateObjects($rs);
echo "opponents=<pre>";print_r($rs);exit;
}
} // GetplayPeer
I'm getting 1 as output, which is not expected output.
