OCI_FETCH_ASSOC(3)														OCI_FETCH_ASSOC(3)

oci_fetch_assoc - Returns the next row from a query as an associative array

SYNOPSIS
       array oci_fetch_assoc (resource	$statement)

DESCRIPTION
	Returns  an  associative  array  containing  the next result-set row of a query. Each array entry corresponds to a column of the row. This
       function is typically called in a loop until it returns FALSE, indicating no more rows exist.

	Calling oci_fetch_assoc(3) is identical to calling oci_fetch_array(3) with OCI_ASSOC + OCI_RETURN_NULLS.

PARAMETERS
	      o $statement
		-A valid OCI8 statement identifier created by oci_parse(3) and executed by oci_execute(3), or a REF CURSOR statement identifier.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns an associative array. If there are no more rows in the $statement then FALSE is returned.
