Hi guys, sorry for spamming your mailing list. I have a strange problem with ocibindbyname(): I use this simple code to start an SQL query: $sql = "Select * from projekte_generisch where pid=:data"; $conn = oci_connect("secret", "secret", "secret"); $cur = oci_parse($conn, $sql); my_dump($conn, $cur, $sql); $pid = "einepid"; my_dump(ocibindbyname($cur, ":data", $pid)); my_dump(oci_execute($cur)); print '<table border="1">'; while ($row = oci_fetch_array($cur, OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) { print '<tr>'; foreach ($row as $item) { print '<td>'.($item?htmlentities($item):' ').'</td>'; } print '</tr>'; } print '</table>'; But this query doesn't give me any data record (no error; empty resultset). When I use $sql = "Select * from projekte_generisch where pid='einepid'"; php returns the data record I'm searching for. What could be the reason? Is there any bug in ocibindbyname or am I using it the wrong way. When I use adodb (http://adodb.sf.net) I get the same error: Using :variable in my query doesn't work but putting the string directly into the query string it works fine. What the f*** am I doing wrong? Any hints are appreciated. Cheers, Manuel -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
