oci_new_descriptor

Description

oci_new_descriptor() allocates resources to hold descriptor or LOB locator. Valid values for type are: OCI_D_FILE, OCI_D_LOB and OCI_D_ROWID.

Example 1. oci_new_descriptor() example <?php     /* This script is designed to be called from a HTML form.      * It expects $user, $password, $table, $where, and $commitsize      * to be passed in from the form.  The script then deletes      * the selected rows using the ROWID and commits after each      * set of $commitsize rows. (Use with care, there is no rollback)      */    $conn = oci_connect($user, $password);    $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "select rowid from $table $where");    $rowid = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_ROWID);    oci_define_by_name($stmt, "ROWID", $rowid);     oci_execute($stmt);    while (oci_fetch($stmt)) {        $nrows = oci_num_rows($stmt);        $delete = oci_parse($conn, "delete from $table where ROWID = :rid");        oci_bind_by_name($delete, ":rid", $rowid, -1, OCI_B_ROWID);        oci_execute($delete);             echo "$nrows\n";        if (($nrows % $commitsize) == 0) {            oci_commit($conn);             }     }    $nrows = oci_num_rows($stmt);     echo "$nrows deleted...\n";    oci_free_statement($stmt);     oci_close($conn); ?> <?php    /* This script demonstrates file upload to LOB columns      * The formfield used for this example looks like this      * <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">      * <input type="file" name="lob_upload" />      * ...      */   if (!isset($lob_upload) || $lob_upload == 'none'){ ?> <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Upload file: <input type="file" name="lob_upload" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Upload" /> - <input type="reset" value="Reset" /> </form> <?php   } else {      // $lob_upload contains the temporary filename of the uploaded file      // see also the features section on file upload,      // if you would like to use secure uploads           $conn = oci_connect($user, $password);      $lob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);      $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "insert into $table (id, the_blob)                values(my_seq.NEXTVAL, EMPTY_BLOB()) returning the_blob into :the_blob");      oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':the_blob', $lob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);      oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);      if ($lob->savefile($lob_upload)){        oci_execute($conn);        echo "Blob successfully uploaded\n";      }else{        echo "Couldn't upload Blob\n";      }      oci_free_descriptor($lob);      oci_free_statement($stmt);      oci_close($conn);   } ?>

oci_new_descriptor() returns FALSE on error.
