oci_fetch_row

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)

oci_fetch_row — Returns the next row from a query as a numeric array

Description

function oci_fetch_row(resource $statement): array|false

Returns a numerically indexed array containing the next result-set row of a query. Each array entry corresponds to a column of the row. This function is typically called in a loop until it returns false, indicating no more rows exist.

Calling oci_fetch_row() is identical to calling oci_fetch_array() with OCI_NUM + OCI_RETURN_NULLS.

Parameters

statement

A valid OCI8 statement identifier created by oci_parse() and executed by oci_execute(), or a REF CURSOR statement identifier.

Return Values

Returns a numerically indexed array. If there are no more rows in the statement then false is returned.

Examples

Example #1 oci_fetch_row() Example

<?php

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
    $e = oci_error();
    trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT department_id, department_name FROM departments');
oci_execute($stid);

while (($row = oci_fetch_row($stid)) != false) {
    echo $row[0] . " " . $row[1] . "<br>\n";
}

oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);

?>

Notes

Note:

See oci_fetch_array() for more examples of fetching rows.
