Hi, Since flags are normally bitmaps, FLAG1 | FLAG2 should have the same result as FLAG1 + FLAG2. I've tried your suggestion anyway but it had no result. I've also tried to uppercase :postalcode (in the query and in the bindbyname call) but that didn't help either.

Also try ":postalcode" in uppercase. Neil -----Original Message----- From: Juffermans, Jos [mailto:jjuffermans@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 20 April 2005 12:18 To: 'php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: OCI Binding problem Hi, Imagine this code: <?php $database_connection = ocilogon("username", "password", "connection string"); // the actual connection code is slightly different but that is not relevant to my problem $postalcode = "3055"; // option 1: paste the postalcode into the query: $rowset1 = array(); $statement1 = ociparse($database_connection, "SELECT services FROM location WHERE postalcode='" . $postalcode . "'"); ociexecute($statement1); ocifetchstatement($statement1, &$rowset1, 0, 100, OCI_ASSOC | OCI_FETCHSTATEMENT_BY_ROW); // at this stage $rowset1 contains some records from the table // option 2: use namebinding: $rowset2 = array(); $statement2 = ociparse($database_connection, "SELECT services FROM location WHERE postalcode=:postalcode"); ocibindbyname($statement2, ":postalcode", &$postalcode, 4); ociexecute($statement2); ocifetchstatement($statement2, &$rowset2, 0, 100, OCI_ASSOC | OCI_FETCHSTATEMENT_BY_ROW); // at this stage $rowset2 is still an empty array ?> Both queries should result in the same data but as soon as I use the binding no rows are returned. I can't see what I'm doing wrong here. Can someone help me?
