note 8789 added to OCIDefineByName

The above example should probably not have the $empno and $ename being passed by reference [via the "&"] if using php4. If you wish to pass by reference, your php.ini file should have allow_call_time_pass_reference = true, though this feature may not be supported in the future. /vjl/ http://www.php.net/manual/function.ocidefinebyname.php
