oci_bind_array_by_name — Binds a PHP array to an Oracle PL/SQL array parameter
$statement,$param,&$var,$max_array_length,$max_item_length = -1,$type = SQLT_AFC
Binds the PHP array var to the Oracle
placeholder param, which points to an Oracle PL/SQL
array. Whether it will be used for input or output will be determined at
run-time.
statementA valid OCI statement identifier.
paramThe Oracle placeholder.
varAn array.
max_array_lengthSets the maximum length both for incoming and result arrays.
max_item_lengthSets maximum length for array items. If not specified or equals to -1, oci_bind_array_by_name() will find the longest element in the incoming array and will use it as the maximum length.
typeShould be used to set the type of PL/SQL array items. See list of available types below:
SQLT_NUM - for arrays of NUMBER.
SQLT_INT - for arrays of INTEGER (Note: INTEGER
it is actually a synonym for NUMBER(38), but
SQLT_NUM type won't work in this case even
though they are synonyms).
SQLT_FLT - for arrays of FLOAT.
SQLT_AFC - for arrays of CHAR.
SQLT_CHR - for arrays of VARCHAR2.
SQLT_VCS - for arrays of VARCHAR.
SQLT_AVC - for arrays of CHARZ.
SQLT_STR - for arrays of STRING.
SQLT_LVC - for arrays of LONG VARCHAR.
SQLT_ODT - for arrays of DATE.

?>This function appears to work with PL/SQL associative arrays (index-by tables) but I was unable to get it to work with PL/SQL varraysWe were able to get the example included for the "OCI_BIND_ARRAY_BY_NAME" to work. However, the example is NOT actually binding with a PL/SQL array of any type. It is writing data to an Oracle table named "bind_example". Notice how this table is created. The table does NOT have an array type as one of its fields. Since this is the case, there cannot be any binding to a PL/SQL array because at least one field in the table must be either a VARRAY, NESTED TABLE or ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY data type. We searched the Internet and could not find any examples that actually read from a PL/SQL array type. We were able to get data from a PL/SQL VARRAY data type, but only by using a SELECT statement.
