#43654 [NEW]: oci_bind_by_name - what happens when optional $type is ommitted

From: gena01 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: oci_bind_by_name - what happens when optional $type is ommitted Description: ------------ http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-bind-by-name.php has the documentation for oci_bind_by_name() but it doesn't explain what happens if optional $type is ommitted? Expected result: ---------------- I would love to see an explanation of at least a default value or behavior if I don't specify that last parameter when I call that function. Actual result: -------------- It's unclear of what happens. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43654&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43654&r=mysqlcfg
