# oci_field_type_raw

(PHP 5, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)

oci_field_type_raw — Tell the raw Oracle data type of the field

### Description

int oci_field_type_raw ( resource `$statement` , mixed `$field` )

Returns Oracle's raw "SQLT" data type of the `field`.

If you want a field's type name, then use oci_field_type() instead.

### Parameters

`statement`

  A valid OCI statement identifier.

`field`

  Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.

### Return Values

Returns Oracle's raw data type as a number, or `FALSE` on errors.

### Examples

Example #1 oci_field_type_raw() Example

`<?php
// Create the table with:
// CREATE TABLE mytab (number_col NUMBER, varchar2_col varchar2(1), clob_col CLOB, date_col DATE);
$conn = oci_connect("hr", "hrpwd", "localhost/XE");
if (!$conn) {
$m = oci_error();
trigger_error(htmlentities($m['message']), E_USER_ERROR);
}
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'select * from mytab');
oci_execute($stid, OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY); // Use OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY if not fetching rows
$n = oci_num_fields($stid);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; ++$i) {
echo oci_field_name($stid, $i) . " is raw type: " . oci_field_type_raw($stid, $i) . "<br>\n";
}
// Output is:
// NUMBER_COL is raw type: 2
// VARCHAR2_COL is raw type: 1
// CLOB_COL is raw type: 112
// DATE_COL is raw type: 12
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
?>`

### Notes

> Note:

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