oci_bind_array_by_name

Description

oci_bind_array_by_name() binds the PHP array var_array to the Oracle placeholder name, which points to Oracle PL/SQL array. Whether it will be used for input or output will be determined at run-time. The max_table_length parameter sets the maximum length both for incoming and result arrays. Parameter max_item_length sets maximum length for array items. If max_item_length was not specified or equals to -1, oci_bind_array_by_name() will use find the longest element in the incoming array and will use it as maximum length for array items. type parameter should be used to set the type of PL/SQL array items. See list of available types below.

• SQLT_NUM - for arrays of NUMBER.

• SQLT_INT - for arrays of INTEGER (Note: INTEGER it is actually a synonym for NUMBER(38), but SQLT_NUM type won't work in this case even though they are synonyms).

• SQLT_FLT - for arrays of FLOAT.

• SQLT_AFC - for arrays of CHAR.

• SQLT_CHR - for arrays of VARCHAR2.

• SQLT_VCS - for arrays of VARCHAR.

• SQLT_AVC - for arrays of CHARZ.

• SQLT_STR - for arrays of STRING.

• SQLT_LVC - for arrays of LONG VARCHAR.

• SQLT_ODT - for arrays of DATE.
