PHP: oci_define_by_name

If you are new to PHP or just need to refresh your skills, this is the place to start. This series of tutorials will give you the basic knowledge you will need to create a simple PHP website.

PHP is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic web pages.[1] PHP is used mainly in server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. Textual User Interfaces can also be created using ncurses.

oci_define_by_name

Description

bool oci_define_by_name ( resource statement, string column_name, mixed &variable [, int type] )

Defines PHP variables for fetches of SQL-Columns.

Parameters

statement

A valid OCI statement identifier.

column_name

The column name. Must be uppercased.

Take into consideration that Oracle uses ALL-UPPERCASE column names, whereby in your select you can also use lowercase. If you define a variable that doesn't exists in your select statement, no error will be issued.

variable

The PHP variable.

type

If you need to define an abstract datatype (LOB/ROWID/BFILE) you must allocate it first using oci_new_descriptor(). See also the oci_bind_by_name() function.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example 1. oci_define_by_name() example


<?php
/* oci_define_by_name example - thies at thieso dot net (980219) */

$conn = oci_connect("scott", "tiger");

$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT empno, ename FROM emp");

/* the define MUST be done BEFORE oci_execute! */

oci_define_by_name($stmt, "EMPNO", $empno);
oci_define_by_name($stmt, "ENAME", $ename);

oci_execute($stmt);

while (oci_fetch($stmt)) {
    echo "empno:" . $empno . "\n";
    echo "ename:" . $ename . "\n";
}

oci_free_statement($stmt);
oci_close($conn);
?>

Notes

Note: In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocidefinebyname() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_define_by_name() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
