(PHP 5, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)
oci_fetch — Fetches the next row from a query into internal buffers
Fetches the next row from a query into internal buffers accessible either with oci_result(), or by using variables previously defined with oci_define_by_name().
See oci_fetch_array() for general information about fetching data.
A valid OCI8 statement identifier created by oci_parse() and executed by oci_execute(), or a REF CURSOR statement identifier.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE if there are no more rows in the statement.
Example #1 oci_fetch() with defined variables
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
$e = oci_error();
trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}
$sql = 'SELECT location_id, city FROM locations WHERE location_id < 1200';
$stid = oci_parse($conn, $sql);
// The defines MUST be done before executing
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'LOCATION_ID', $locid);
oci_define_by_name($stid, 'CITY', $city);
oci_execute($stid);
// Each fetch populates the previously defined variables with the next row's data
while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
echo "Location id $locid is $city<br>\n";
}
// Displays:
// Location id 1000 is Roma
// Location id 1100 is Venice
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
?>
Example #2 oci_fetch() with oci_result()
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
$e = oci_error();
trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}
$sql = 'SELECT location_id, city FROM locations WHERE location_id < 1200';
$stid = oci_parse($conn, $sql);
oci_execute($stid);
while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
echo oci_result($stid, 'LOCATION_ID') . " is ";
echo oci_result($stid, 'CITY') . "<br>\n";
}
// Displays:
// 1000 is Roma
// 1100 is Venice
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
?>
Note: In PHP versions before 5.0.0 use ocifetch() instead. The old function name can still be used in current versions, however it is deprecated and not recommended.
