Description
mixed 
oci_result ( resource statement, mixed field )
     oci_result() returns the data from the field
     field in the current row, fetched by
     oci_fetch(). oci_result() returns
     everything as strings except for abstract types (ROWIDs, LOBs and FILEs).
     oci_result() returns FALSE on error.
    
     You can either use the column number (1-based) or the column name (in
     uppercase) for the field() parameter.
    
Note: 
      In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ociresult() instead. 
      This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
      oci_result() for downwards compatability. 
      This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
