oci_define_by_name

Associates a PHP variable with a column for query fetches

bool **oci_define_by_name** resource $statement string $column mixed $var int $type

Associates a PHP variable with a column for query fetches using . oci_fetch

The  call must occur before
executing .

oci_define_by_name``oci_execute

statement``columnThe column name used in the query.

Use uppercase for Oracle's default, non-case sensitive column names. Use the exact column name case for case-sensitive column names.

varThe PHP variable that will contain the returned column value.

type The data type to be returned. Generally not needed. Note that Oracle-style data conversions are not performed. For example, will be ignored and the returned data type will still be . SQLT_INT``SQLT_CHR

   You can optionally use 
   to allocate LOB/ROWID/BFILE descriptors.
  `oci_new_descriptor`

return.success

Voorbeeld: example

<?php

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
    $e = oci_error();
    trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}

$sql = 'SELECT location_id, city FROM locations WHERE location_id < 1200';
$stid = oci_parse($conn, $sql);

// The defines MUST be done before executing
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'LOCATION_ID', $locid);
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'CITY', $city);

oci_execute($stid);

// Each fetch populates the previously defined variables with the next row's data
while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
    echo "Location id $locid is $city<br>\n";
}

// Displays:
//   Location id 1000 is Roma
//   Location id 1100 is Venice

oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);

?>

Voorbeeld: with case sensitive column names

<?php

/*
  Before running, create the table with a case sensitive column name:
    CREATE TABLE mytab (id NUMBER, "MyDescription" VARCHAR2(30));
    INSERT INTO mytab (id, "MyDescription") values (1, 'Iced Coffee');
    COMMIT;
*/

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
    $e = oci_error();
    trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT * FROM mytab');

// Use uppercase for non case-sensitive column names
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'ID', $id);

// Use the exact case for case-sensitive column names
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'MyDescription', $mydesc);

oci_execute($stid);

while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
    echo "id $id is $mydesc<br>\n";
}

// Displays:
//   id 1 is Iced Coffee

oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);

?>

Voorbeeld: with LOB columns

<?php

/*
  Before running, create the table:
    CREATE TABLE mytab (id NUMBER, fruit CLOB);
    INSERT INTO mytab (id, fruit) values (1, 'apple');
    INSERT INTO mytab (id, fruit) values (2, 'orange');
    COMMIT;
*/

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
    $e = oci_error();
    trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT * FROM mytab');

// The defines MUST be done before executing
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'ID', $id);
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'FRUIT', $fruit);  // $fruit will become a LOB descriptor

oci_execute($stid);

while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
    echo $id . " is " . $fruit->load(100) . "<br>\n";
}

// Displays:
//   1 is apple
//   2 is orange

$fruit->free();
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);

?>

Voorbeeld: with an explicit type

<?php

/*
  Before running, create the table:
    CREATE TABLE mytab (id NUMBER, fruit CLOB);
    INSERT INTO mytab (id, fruit) values (1, 'apple');
    INSERT INTO mytab (id, fruit) values (2, 'orange');
    COMMIT;
*/

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
    $e = oci_error();
    trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT * FROM mytab');

// The defines MUST be done before executing
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'ID', $id);

$fruit = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'FRUIT', $fruit, OCI_D_CLOB);

oci_execute($stid);

while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
    echo $id . " is " . $fruit->load(100) . "<br>\n";
}

// Displays:
//   1 is apple
//   2 is orange

$fruit->free();
