Okay, its seems my problem is actually more fundamental. I've just tried to run the example from the oci_bind_by_name documentation on php.net, and get the same error! The example doesn't work for me. I think at this point I need to assume there is something wrong with the server settings? Maybe Apache needs certain configurations in order for this to work? Anyone have any idea whats causing this? This is the page with the example I tried to run: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-bind-by-name.php And this is the output from it: Warning: oci_bind_by_name() [function.oci-bind-by-name]: Unknown or unsupported datatype given: 1 in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 28 Warning: oci_bind_by_name() [function.oci-bind-by-name]: Unknown or unsupported datatype given: 1 in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 29 Warning: oci_bind_by_name() [function.oci-bind-by-name]: Unknown or unsupported datatype given: 1 in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 41 Warning: oci_execute() [function.oci-execute]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01008: not all variables bound in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 46 Warning: oci_execute() [function.oci-execute]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01008: not all variables bound in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 47 Warning: oci_execute() [function.oci-execute]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01008: not all variables bound in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 46 Warning: oci_execute() [function.oci-execute]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01008: not all variables bound in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 47 Warning: oci_execute() [function.oci-execute]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01008: not all variables bound in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 46 Warning: oci_execute() [function.oci-execute]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01008: not all variables bound in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\oci_bind_by_name.php on line 47 On 8/9/05, Anton Channing <antonchanning@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I am currently building a php-oracle application for > the college I work for, and as part of that application > I have cause to to create some insert/update procedures. > My best solution for this is to have an input/output > parameter representing the id of the field that needs to > updated.
