oci_fetch

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)

Fetches the next row from a query into internal buffers

bool oci_fetch ( resource $statement )

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.

Parameters:

statement

A valid OCI8 statement identifier created by oci_parse() and executed by oci_execute(), or a REF CURSOR statement identifier.

Returns:

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE if there are no more rows in the statement.

Notes:

Will not return rows from Oracle Database 12c Implicit Result Sets. Use oci_fetch_array() instead.

Examples:

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);
 
?>

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);
 
?>
