Description
bool 
oci_define_by_name ( resource statement, string column_name, mixed &variable [, int type] )
     oci_define_by_name() defines PHP variables for fetches
     of SQL-Columns. Be careful that Oracle uses ALL-UPPERCASE column names,
     whereby in your select you can also write lowercase.
     oci_define_by_name() expects
     the column_name to be in uppercase. If you
     define a variable that doesn't exists in your select statement, no
     error will issued.
    
     If you need to define an abstract datatype (LOB/ROWID/BFILE) you
     must allocate it first using
     oci_new_descriptor(). See also the
     oci_bind_by_name() function.
    
例子 1. oci_define_by_name() example 
<?php /* oci_define_by_name example - thies at thieso dot net (980219) */
  $conn = oci_connect("scott", "tiger");
  $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT empno, ename FROM emp");
  /* the define MUST be done BEFORE oci_execute! */
  oci_define_by_name($stmt, "EMPNO", $empno); oci_define_by_name($stmt, "ENAME", $ename);
  oci_execute($stmt);
  while (oci_fetch($stmt)) {     echo "empno:" . $empno . "\n";     echo "ename:" . $ename . "\n"; }
  oci_free_statement($stmt); oci_close($conn); ?>

注: 
      In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocidefinebyname() instead. 
      This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
      oci_define_by_name() for downwards compatability. 
      This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
