note 118299 added to function.oci-execute

You can pass a "false" value to oci_execute() and this returns a null value, instead of the documented false value. <?php $conn = oci_connect('username', 'password, '//hostname:1521/DB'); $result = oci_execute(false); var_dump($result); ?> Results in "null", so performing an Identical test: <?php if ($results === false) { //throw exception } ?> won't trap a problem, where as the Equal test (==) would: <?php if ($results == false) { //throw exception } ?> So testing the result of a statement like oci_parse() is important! ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 130.159.12.197 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.oci-execute.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/118299 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118299/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118299/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118299/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118299/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118299/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118299/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118299 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/118299 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
