Description:
------------
On the documentation page for oci_fetch_assoc is written:
"Calling oci_fetch_assoc() is identical to calling oci_fetch_array() with OCI_ASSOC."

But on the lower of the page is written:
"Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value."

So if there are NULL fields in your result set then:
oci_fetch_array($result, OCI_ASSOC) != oci_fetch_assoc($result)

Hence the documentation should be updated to:
"Calling oci_fetch_assoc() is identical to calling oci_fetch_array() with (OCI_ASSOC | OCI_RETURN_NULLS)."

This bug is not identical to:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36851

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
