Description:
------------
I have php 5.0.5, apache 2.0.55 and oci8-beta 1.1.1. 

BINARY_FLOAT data types in 10g are always returned as a null value in php. I have made sure that the values are there via SQL*Plus and the Enterprise Manager.

In the below example, the output of the binary_float column is empty.

The obvious work around to this is to use a NUMBER data type.

Reproduce code:
---------------
------------
$oraDb = oci_connect("YOUR_SCHEMA","password","TNSNAME");
$oraCreate = 'CREATE TABLE binf_test (bt_idx INTEGER, reg_float NUMBER (10, 3), bin_float BINARY_FLOAT, CONSTRAINT bt_pk PRIMARY KEY (bt_idx))';
oci_execute(oci_parse($oraDb, $oraCreate));
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) {
        $decnum = ($i / (.429));
        $oraInsert = "INSERT INTO binf_test VALUES (".$i.", ".$decnum.", ".$decnum.")";
        oci_execute(oci_parse($oraDb, $oraInsert));
}
$oraSelect = "SELECT * FROM binf_test";
$oraParse = oci_parse($oraDb, $oraSelect);
if (oci_execute($oraParse)) {
        while ($oraRow = oci_fetch_assoc($oraParse)) {
                foreach ($oraRow as $key => $val) {
                        echo $key." : ".$val."<br />\n";
                }
        }
}
oci_close($oraDb);

Expected result:
----------------
The correct values of binary_float columns to be displayed.
