PHP Manual: Fetches the next row from a query into internal buffers

Description

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.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false if there are no more rows in the statement.

Examples

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);

?>
