ocidefinebyname
    (PHP 3>= 3.0.7, PHP 4 )
ocidefinebyname -- 
     Use a PHP variable for the define-step during a SELECT
    
Description
bool 
ocidefinebyname ( resource stmt, string column_name, mixed &variable [, int type])
     ocidefinebyname() binds PHP variables for fetches
     of SQL-Columns. Be careful that Oracle uses ALL-UPPERCASE column-names,
     whereby in your select you can also write lowercase.
     ocidefinebyname() expects
     the column_name to be in uppercase. If you
     define a variable that doesn't exists in your select statement, no
     error will be given!
    
     If you need to define an abstract datatype (LOB/ROWID/BFILE) you
     need to allocate it first using
     ocinewdescriptor(). See also the
     ocibindbyname() function.
    
Example 1. ocidefinebyname() example <?php
/* OCIDefineByName example - thies at thieso dot net (980219) */
$conn = OCILogon("scott","tiger");
$stmt = OCIParse($conn,"select empno, ename from emp");
/* the define MUST be done BEFORE ociexecute! */
OCIDefineByName($stmt,"EMPNO",$empno);
OCIDefineByName($stmt,"ENAME",$ename);
OCIExecute($stmt);
while (OCIFetch($stmt)) {
    echo "empno:".$empno."\n";
    echo "ename:".$ename."\n";
}
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($conn);
