int oci_field_type_raw (resource $statement, mixed $field)
DESCRIPTION

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

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.
