	      oci_num_rows(3) example

	      <?php

	      $conn = oci_connect("hr", "hrpwd", "localhost/XE");
	      if (!$conn) {
		  $m = oci_error();

	      echo oci_num_rows($stid) . " rows inserted.<br />
";
	      oci_free_statement($stid);

	      $stid = oci_parse($conn, "delete from emp2");
	      oci_execute($stid, OCI_DEFAULT);
	      echo oci_num_rows($stid) . " rows deleted.<br />
";
	      oci_commit($conn);
	      oci_free_statement($stid);

	      $stid = oci_parse($conn, "drop table emp2");
	      oci_execute($stid);
	      oci_free_statement($stid);

	      oci_close($conn);

	      ?>

NOTES
       Note

	       This  function  does  not  return number of rows selected! For SELECT statements this function will return the number of rows, that
	      were fetched to the buffer with oci_fetch*(3) functions.

       Note

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