SYNOPSIS

       int oci_field_type_raw (resource  $statement, mixed  $field)

DESCRIPTION

	Returns Oracle's raw "SQLT" data type of the $field.

	If you want a field's type name, then use oci_field_type(3) instead.

PARAMETERS

	      o $statement
		- A valid OCI statement identifier.

	      o $field
		- Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns Oracle's raw data type as a number, or FALSE on errors.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      oci_field_type_raw(3) Example

	      <?php

	      // Create the table with:
	      //   CREATE TABLE mytab (number_col NUMBER, varchar2_col varchar2(1), clob_col CLOB, date_col DATE);

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

	      $stid = oci_parse($conn, 'select * from mytab');
	      oci_execute($stid, OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY);  // Use OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY if not fetching rows
	      $n = oci_num_fields($stid);
	      for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; ++$i) {
		  echo oci_field_name($stid, $i) . " is raw type: " . oci_field_type_raw($stid, $i) . "<br>
";
	      }

	      // Output is:
	      //    NUMBER_COL is raw type: 2
	      //    VARCHAR2_COL is raw type: 1
	      //    CLOB_COL is raw type: 112
	      //    DATE_COL is raw type: 12

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

	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	       In  PHP	versions  before  5.0.0  you  must  use  ocicolumntyperaw(3) instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
	      oci_field_type_raw(3) for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.

OCI_RESULT(3)															     OCI_RESULT(3)

oci_result - Returns field's value from the fetched row

SYNOPSIS

       mixed oci_result (resource  $statement, mixed  $field)

DESCRIPTION

	Returns the data from $field in the current row, fetched by oci_fetch(3).

       For details on the data type mapping performed by the OCI8 extension, see the datatypes supported by the driver

PARAMETERS

	      o $statement
		-

	      o $field
		-  Can be either use the column number (1-based) or the column name. The case of the column name must be the case that Oracle meta

RETURN VALUES

	Returns everything as strings except for abstract types (ROWIDs, LOBs and FILEs). Returns FALSE on error.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      oci_fetch(3) with oci_result(3)

	      <?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, $sql);
	      oci_execute($stid);

	      while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
		  echo oci_result($stid, 'LOCATION_ID') . " is ";
		  echo oci_result($stid, 'CITY') . "<br>
";
	      }

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