#50234 [Opn->Asn]: oci_fetch_array does NOT set NULL fields to the PHP NULL value

ID: 50234 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: jkeller at berkeley dot edu -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cjorcl New Comment: Bug or a feature, Chris? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-19 16:32:31] jkeller at berkeley dot edu Description: ------------ Under 'Return Values' for function oci_fetch_array, the docs say "sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value." However, unlike oci_fetch_assoc, this function does NOT set NULL fields to the PHP NULL value"; instead, it does not include them in the returned array. To include NULL values in the array, you must pass in the OCI_RETURN_NULLS flag. Expected result: ---------------- I suggest that this note be changed to read "this function does not include NULL fields in the returned array, unless OCI_RETURN_NULLS is included in the 'mode' parameter." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50234&edit=1
