Here is another example of how to insert a BLOB into table using a PL/SQL function.
Oracle Database Code:
create table blob_table ( the_blob blob);
create or replace function insert_blob(out_blob out blob)
return integer is
begin
insert into blob_table values (EMPTY_BLOB())
return the_blob into out_blob;
return 0; /* Success */
end insert_blob;
PHP Code:
<?php
$iResult = -1;
$strTestData = 'Testing 123';
$conn = oci_connect($user, $password);
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "begin :RES := insert_blob(:OUT_BLOB); end;");
$objBlob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ":RES", $iResult);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ":OUT_BLOB", $objBlob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);
oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
$objBlob->write($strTestData);
oci_commit($conn);
$objBlob->free();
oci_free_statement($stmt);
?>
