RE: [PHP] & vars and ocibindbyname

-----Original Message----- From: Laurent Drouet To: php-general@lists.php.net I use Php 4.0.6 with oci and when I try to use OcibindByname php function I receive the following warning : Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated ..... The problem is that this function requires the use of &vars -------------------------- Er -- no it doesn't. I have loads of OCIBindByName calls that have never seen so much as a sniff of an &. The function definition at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ocibindbyname.php: int OCIBindByName ( int stmt, string ph_name, mixed & variable, int length [, int type]) tells you that the function itself forces the 3rd parameter to be passed by reference, not that it has to be passed by reference in the call. The following call is perfectly valid and does the job correctly: OCIBindByName($stmt, ':NAME', $name, 255); Cheers! Mike
