Re: Retreving X, Y, Z from the Geometry column in oracle 10g

You'll need an oracle - oci8 expert for this. A little googling told me that in order to use user defined data types (and i guess enhanced build in data types as GEOMETRY too) you will need oci8 functions (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39887), specifically the function bind_array_by_name() (http://usphp.com/manual/en/function.oci-bind-array-by-name.php). In general, and I bet you do, keep the oci8 function overview close (http://usphp.com/manual/en/ref.oci8.php). Evert Hebat-Allah Farag wrote:
