Yes, sqlplus is much fussier than isql, can get into problems with big rows, manually set buffers and lacks speed. I am guessing Oracle did not want it to be friendly to scripting, and loaded it with appearance options for small scale ad hoc query. Luckily, you can jump ship to ODBC or JDBC and isql or jisql. Some like Toad, but I like SQuirreL, where skills transfer between RDBMS.

odbc_prepare
ODBC_PREPARE(3) 1 ODBC_PREPARE(3)
odbc_prepare - Prepares a statement for execution
SYNOPSIS
resource odbc_prepare (resource $connection_id, string $query_string)
DESCRIPTION
Prepares a statement for execution. The result identifier can be used later to execute the statement with odbc_execute(3).
Some databases (such as IBM DB2, MS SQL Server, and Oracle) support stored procedures that accept parameters of type IN, INOUT, and OUT as
defined by the ODBC specification. However, the Unified ODBC driver currently only supports parameters of type IN to stored procedures.
PARAMETERS
o $connection_id
-The ODBC connection identifier, see odbc_connect(3) for details.
o $query_string
- The query string statement being prepared.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an ODBC result identifier if the SQL command was prepared successfully. Returns FALSE on error.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
odbc_execute(3) and odbc_prepare(3) example
In the following code, $success will only be TRUE if all three parameters to myproc are IN parameters:
<?php
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
$c = 3;
$stmt = odbc_prepare($conn, 'CALL myproc(?,?,?)');
$success = odbc_execute($stmt, array($a, $b, $c));
?>
If you need to call a stored procedure using INOUT or OUT parameters, the recommended workaround is to use a native extension for your
database (for example, mssql for MS SQL Server, or oci8 for Oracle).
