Re: Adding parameter to ocisavelob() && $lob->save() and additional function to OCI8 extension

If you're interrested in writing the patch yourself (and this sounds like a rather minor one), your best bet is to just write it and submit it for review (Note: It wouldn't make it into PHP4 as that branch is frozen and accepting bugfixes only, no new features, but PHP5 has room). If you don't feel up to writing it yourself, the best place to request features is http://bugs.php.net and file it under "Feature Request". There, someone can take "Assignment" of it and complete the changes in CVS. As to documentation, you can checkout the PHP Manual sources (CVS module: phpdoc) or just browse them via the web http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/ to get a feel for how they're laid out. Then, write up new documentation for the missing pages and submit them to phpdoc@lists.php.net -Sara "Antony Dovgal" <tony2001@phpclub.net> wrote in message news:20031028171806.1ebb7886.tony2001@phpclub.net... > Hi, all > > I want to propose to add an additional parameter to ocisavelob() && $lob->save();, which will allow to tell how much of LOB to read from Oracle. > As I understand, this will not break BC, if this parameter will be optional and ocisavelob() will continue to read all LOB's content by default. > > And this will require a wrapper for OCILobGetLength to make possible to get LOB's length (ocilobgetlength() imo will be the best name for it). > I can try to write a patch for this. > > Any objections? > > P.S. there are 18 functions in oci8, which are not documented for rather long time. does anybody care about it? > > --- > WBR, > Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 > tony2001@phpclub.net
