$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT * FROM emp");
oci_execute($stmt);
echo "<table border=\"1\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th>Name</th>";

echo "</tr>";
$ncols = oci_num_fields($stmt);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $ncols; $i++) {
$column_name = oci_field_name($stmt, $i);
$column_type = oci_field_type($stmt, $i);

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>$column_name</td>";
echo "<td>$column_type</td>";
echo "<td>$conn);
?>
Note: In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocicolumnname() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_field_name() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
