Guys, Can anyone help please? I am using Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) with PHP 5.2.5. The following piece of code works with a CLOB, but not with an NCLOB. Can anyone shed any light please? $SQL = " UPDATE $d_sid.srs_spd SET spd_fuld = EMPTY_CLOB() WHERE spd_stuc = :stuc AND spd_seqn = :seqn AND spd_pdtc = 'VOAM' returning spd_fuld into :THE_CLOB "; $Clob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB); $stmt = oci_parse($conn,$SQL); if (!is_resource($stmt)) throw new Exception("Internal Error: E_SPD_POPULATE (Parse 2)"); oci_bind_by_name($stmt,":stuc",$V->Get("Student")); oci_bind_by_name($stmt,":seqn",$Out); oci_bind_by_name($stmt,":THE_CLOB", $Clob, -1, OCI_B_CLOB); $exec = oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT); if (!$exec) throw new Exception("Internal Error: E_SPD_POPULATE (Exec 2)"); $Clob->save($this->EMail); if (!oci_commit($conn)) { oci_rollback($conn); throw new Exception("Internal Error: E_SPD_POPULATE - Can't Save Character Large Object"); } Regards, Neil Morgan PGCert MSc IT Services University of Brighton Watts 137 Lewes Road Brighton BN2 4GJ 01273 643930 ___________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by MessageLabs' Email Security System on behalf of the University of Brighton.
