tim dot mcguire

I would like to correct the above documentation. I am able to get results from ora_numcols after a parse & exec sequence and before a fetch: ora_parse($curs,$query); ora_exec($curs); $numfields = ora_numcols($curs); for($col=0;$col<$numfields;$col++){ echo ora_columnname($curs,$col); } while(ora_fetch($curs)){ etc......................... }
