Hello everyone,
 I have a question concerning oci_define_by_name();
 
 Why do I have to actually print all my variables prior to using them.I mean
 if I don't use echo(); function in oci_fetch() function it seems the value
 doesn't get into my variable....the value is not assigned to the
 $variable...
 
 is it normal?
 
 here is an example of what I do:
 
 
 //connection to database
 include '../connection_DB/connect.php';
 
 $sql=  "select a.request_name
 ,a.request_date
 ,c.request_type_name
 ,c.request_type_id
 ,a.request_wished_delivery_date
 ,b.client_firstname||' '||b.client_lastname as client_name
 ,b.client_id
 ,d.brand_name
 ,d.brand_id
 ,a.request_comment
 from   requests a
 ,clients b
 ,request_types c
 ,brands d
 where  a.request_client_id = b.client_id
 and a.request_request_type_id = c.request_type_id
 and a.request_brand_id = d.brand_id
 and a.request_id = $reqID";
 
 $stmt = oci_parse($c1, $sql);
 
 // oci_define_by_name defines PHP variables for fetches of
 SQL-Columns.Columns need to be
 // in UPPERCASE with Oracle
 
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "REQUEST_NAME", $up_req_name);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "REQUEST_DATE", $up_req_date);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "REQUEST_TYPE_NAME", $up_req_typ_name);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "REQUEST_TYPE_ID", $up_req_typ_id);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "REQUEST_WISHED_DELIVERY_DATE",
 $up_req_wished_date);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "CLIENT_NAME", $up_req_client_name);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "CLIENT_ID", $up_req_client_id);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "BRAND_NAME", $up_req_brand_name);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "BRAND_ID", $up_req_brand_id);
 oci_define_by_name($stmt, "REQUEST_COMMENT", $up_req_comment);
 
 oci_execute($stmt);
 
 while (oci_fetch($stmt))
 {
 // in white font not to display values on screen
 
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_name</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_date</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_typ_name</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_typ_id</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_wished_date</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_client_name</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_client_id</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_brand_name</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_brand_id</font>";
 echo "<font color='#FFFFFF'> $up_req_comment</font>";
 
 }
