oci_bind_array_by_name
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, PECL OCI8 >= 1.2.0)
oci_bind_array_by_name — Binds a PHP array to an Oracle PL/SQL array parameter
Description
Binds the PHP array var_array to the Oracle placeholder name, which points to an Oracle PL/SQL array. Whether it will be used for input or output will be determined at run-time.
Parameters
- statement
- 
      A valid OCI statement identifier. 
- name
- 
      The Oracle placeholder. 
- var_array
- 
      An array. 
- max_table_length
- 
      Sets the maximum length both for incoming and result arrays. 
- max_item_length
- 
      Sets maximum length for array items. If not specified or equals to -1, oci_bind_array_by_name() will find the longest element in the incoming array and will use it as the maximum length. 
- type
- 
      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. 
 
- 
         
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
