#2 without specifying a mode example
<?php

// Before running, create the table:
//   CREATE TABLE MYTABLE (col1 NUMBER);

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'INSERT INTO mytab (col1) VALUES (123)');

oci_execute($stid); // The row is committed and immediately visible to other users

#3 with  example
<?php

// Before running, create the table:
//   CREATE TABLE MYTABLE (col1 NUMBER);

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'INSERT INTO mytab (col1) VALUES (:bv)');
oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':bv', $i, 10);
for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; ++$i) {
    oci_execute($stid, OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT);  // use OCI_DEFAULT for PHP <= 5.3.1
}
oci_commit($conn);  // commits all new values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

#4 with different commit modes example
<?php

// Before running, create the table:
//   CREATE TABLE MYTABLE (col1 NUMBER);

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'INSERT INTO mytab (col1) VALUES (123)');
oci_execute($stid, OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT);  // data not committed

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'INSERT INTO mytab (col1) VALUES (456)');
oci_execute($stid);  // commits both 123 and 456 values

#5 with
      example
<?php

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT * FROM locations');
oci_execute($s, OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY);
for ($i = 1; $i <= oci_num_fields($stid); ++$i) {
    echo oci_field_name($stid, $i) . "<br>\n";
