oci_field_scale — Tell the scale of the field
Description
int oci_field_scale
( resource $statement
, int $field
)
Returns the scale of the column with field index.
For FLOAT columns, precision is nonzero and scale is -127. If precision is 0, then column is NUMBER. Else it's NUMBER(precision, scale).
Parameters
- statement
-
A valid OCI statement identifier.
- field
-
Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.
Return Values
Returns the scale as an integer, or FALSE on errors.
Notes
Note:
In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocicolumnscale() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_field_scale() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
