Description:
------------
Utilizing the oci_bind_array_by_name function in Oracle 10.2.0.1 results in incorrect data being returned for NUMBER array data.

This error also occurs with the php5.2-200610261830 snapshot.

Configure line: ./configure -with-oci8 --with-gd --enable-gd-imgstrttf --enable-gd-native-ttf  --with-ttf --with-freetype-dir --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs --with-png --with-zlib --with-jpeg --enable-xmlwriter --without-pear

My database is set up with native code compile option for PL/SQL in case that makes a difference.

Reproduce code:
---------------
The code used can be found here: http://www-dev.quelch.org/ws/test.html

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => 4
    [1] => 3
    [2] => 2
    [3] => 1
    [4] => 0
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => 1473
    [1] => 1217
    [2] => 961
    [3] => 705
    [4] => 128
)

I get the same error with the php5.2-200610262030 snapshot as I did with the php5.2-200610261830 snapshot and 5.1.6.
Thanks.

Change SQLT_NUM to SQLT_INT and it works fine.
There is no difference for OCI8 between those two bind types (they are handled by the same function in the very same way), so there must be some difference in OCI library itself.

Thanks. Is the documentation going to be updated to reflect this workaround?

However, if you have a column defined, say, as number (4,2) and place decimal values in it, you can't then get this data out using the "SQLT_INT" constant, as it truncates. I've updated my test case to do that at the link below.

In this case, using SQLT_NUM gives me:

Array
(
    [0] => 2688449
    [1] => 2032833
    [2] => 1377217
    [3] => 721601
    [4] => 128
)

Where I should get
Array
(
    [0] => 4.4
    [1] => 3.3
    [2] => 2.2
    [3] => 1.1
    [4] => 0
)

Using the SQLT_INT constant gets me:
Array
(
    [0] => 4
    [1] => 3
    [2] => 2
    [3] => 1
    [4] => 0
)
Which is not right either.

The last comment also applies if you leave the original field definition as "NUMBER". Thus is seems that with the current code, one can't retrieve floating point data from the database using oci_bind_array_by_name.
Is that a correct deduction?
Thanks.

This one is pretty plain too - NUMBER(x,y) is just an alias for FLOAT, so you should be usign SQLT_FLT.
Why Oracle doesn't return an error when you specify wrong bind type, I do not know.
