Oracle Stored Procedure

[paddy_nyr]

What is the correct syntax for calling an oracle stored procedure and
getting a retrun value? I created a simple procedure on my oracle database
for testing and yes I know I could do this in a function but I have a more
complex procedure that I have created for the creation of reports. I'm
trying to use ora_parse and ora_bind without much luck. Any help would be
much appreaciated.

Thanks

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P_PHP_PROC_CALL (
p_survey_code IN VARCHAR2,
p_request_id OUT NUMBER
)
AS
BEGIN

IF p_survey_code = 'XYZ' THEN
p_request_id := 12345;
END IF;
END;

Don't use them, they're the (very) old API.

There's an example of calling a stored procedure on the OCI8 manual page.

If you're using ADODB then see http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/docs-oracle.htm

If you can rewrite your code as a function you could simply
do a "select P_PHP_PROC_CALL(...) from dual"

Dual is a table available to every user for the specific
purpose of calling functions, that is, if you don't use
the functions in any "real" select with real tables.

The typical example is "select sysdate from dual".

Lots of Greetings!
