oci_bind_by_name

Binds the PHP variable to the Oracle placeholder (PHP 5, PECL oci8:1.1-1.2.4)
bool oci_bind_by_name ( resource statement, string ph_name, mixed &variable [, int maxlength [, int type]] )

Binds the PHP variable variable to the Oracle placeholder ph_name. Whether it will be used for input or output will be determined at run-time and the necessary storage space will be allocated.

Parameters

statement

An OCI statement.

ph_name

The placeholder.

variable

The PHP variable.

maxlength

Sets the maximum length for the bind. If you set it to -1, this function will use the current length of variable to set the maximum length.

type

If you need to bind an abstract datatype (LOB/ROWID/BFILE) you need to allocate it first using the oci_new_descriptor() function. The length is not used for abstract datatypes and should be set to -1. The type parameter tells Oracle which descriptor is used. Possible values are:

  • SQLT_FILE - for BFILEs;

  • SQLT_CFILE - for CFILEs;

  • SQLT_CLOB - for CLOBs;

  • SQLT_BLOB - for BLOBs;

  • SQLT_RDD - for ROWIDs;

  • SQLT_NTY - for named datatypes;

  • SQLT_INT - for integers;

  • SQLT_CHR - for VARCHARs;

  • SQLT_BIN - for RAW columns;

  • SQLT_LNG - for LONG columns;

  • SQLT_LBI - for LONG RAW columns;

  • SQLT_RSET - for cursors, that were created before with oci_new_cursor().

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Remember, this function strips trailing whitespaces. See the following example:

Example 1634. oci_bind_by_name() example

copy to clipboard
<?php
   $connection = oci_connect('apelsin','kanistra');
   $query = "INSERT INTO test_table VALUES(:id, :text)";

   $statement = oci_parse($query);
   oci_bind_by_name($statement, ":id", 1);
   oci_bind_by_name($statement, ":text", "trailing spaces follow     ");
   oci_execute($statement);
   /*
    This code will insert into DB string 'trailing spaces follow', without
    trailing spaces
   */
?>


Example 1635. oci_bind_by_name() example

copy to clipboard
<?php
   $connection = oci_connect('apelsin','kanistra');
   $query = "INSERT INTO test_table VALUES(:id, 'trailing spaces follow      ')";

   $statement = oci_parse($query);
   oci_bind_by_name($statement, ":id", 1);
   oci_execute($statement);
   /*
    And this code will add 'trailing spaces follow      ', preserving
    trailing whitespaces
   */
?>


Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Notes

Warning:

Do not use magic_quotes_gpc or addslashes() and oci_bind_by_name() simultaneously as no quoting is needed and any magically applied quotes will be written into your database as oci_bind_by_name() is not able to distinguish magically added quotings from those added intentionally.

Note:

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