Description:
------------
Oracle library version 10G R2.
I need to insert into an oracle table with a long raw,
i can't change the column type because another application use the same table and i can change the application.
I experinced the same problem with other version of php/oci libs/Oracle database.


Reproduce code:
---------------
This is a small code example that fails:

<?php
/*
create table longRawTable( id number(10), fileimage long raw);
*/
$db=ocilogon("user","password", "database");
$qs = "insert into longRawTable  (id, fileimage)" .
  " values (:id, :fileimage)";
$stmt = OCIParse($db, $qs);
$i=1;
$fileimage = file_get_contents( "a_file" );
OCIBindByName ( $stmt, ":id", $i, -1);
OCIBindByName ( $stmt, ":fileimage", $fileimage, -1);
ociexecute($stmt, $OCI_DEFAULT);
ocicommit($db);
?>

When i try this script i obtain the following error:
Warning: ociexecute(): ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column in ..../LongRow.php on line 13

Using a column of type LONG and storing data with the bin2hex function all is OK.
Its a php or OCI problem?
I try a similar script in perl using DBD::Oracle on the same machine linked with the same OCI libs without problems.

thanks
