#21813 [Opn]: OCIFetchInto() requires array result passed by reference

ID: 21813 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: whitej@gmx.net Status: Open -Bug Type: OCI8 related +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows 2000 SP3 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Explained Philip on IRC why this really is a documentation problem.. :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-21 22:18:42] philip@php.net Considering this function relies on a deprecated feature, this a bug in OCIFetchInto() itself. Reclassified->Oci8 related. From the docs for allow_call_time_pass_reference: "This method is deprecated and is likely to be unsupported in future versions of PHP/Zend." Also does @ suppress these type of warnings? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-21 20:34:54] whitej@gmx.net Currently, as of 1/21/03, the documentation states that the result array used with OCIFetchInto() must be passed by reference. Since this has changed after 4.2.0(?) and is not required (generating warnings), the documentation should be updated to explain which particular version(s) will see this phenomenon, especially for those who are upgrading or testing against multiple versions. I understand that a note has been included by a user about this problem, but the note is not clear on the versions affected or when the change was made. I am using PHP Version 4.2.3 on System Windows NT 5.0 build 2195 in CGI mode only loading the php_oci8.dll module. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21813&edit=1
