Oracle-PHP PL/SQL Problem

Question

Dear,
I have this situation:
Inside PHP I call this statement:
$usr_stmt = oci_parse($conn, "begin PKG_USERBEHEER_TEST.user_insert(PKG_USERBEHEER_TEST.user_create_type(:usr_id,:usr_naam,:usr_vnaam,:usr_email,:usr_pass,SYSDATE,NULL),:p_exusr_id); end;");
binding the variables
oci_bind_by_name($usr_stmt, ':usr_id', $USR_ID);
oci_bind_by_name($usr_stmt, ':usr_naam', $USR_NAAM);
oci_bind_by_name($usr_stmt, ':usr_vnaam', $USR_VNAAM);
oci_bind_by_name($usr_stmt, ':usr_pass', $USR_PASS);
oci_bind_by_name($usr_stmt, ':usr_email', $USR_EMAIL);
oci_bind_by_name($usr_stmt, ':p_exusr_id', $EXEC);
INSIDE MY PACKAGE:
FUNCTION user_create_type(usr_id users.usr_id%TYPE, usr_naam users.usr_naam%TYPE, usr_vnaam users.usr_vnaam%TYPE, usr_email users.usr_email%TYPE, usr_pass users.usr_pass%TYPE, usr_start_datum users.usr_pass%TYPE, usr_eind_datum users.usr_eind_datum%TYPE) return user_rec is
v_rec user_rec;
Begin
v_rec.usr_id := usr_id;
v_rec.usr_naam := usr_naam ;
v_rec.usr_vnaam:=usr_vnaam;
v_rec.usr_email:=usr_email;
v_rec.usr_pass :=usr_pass;
v_rec.usr_start_datum := usr_start_datum;
v_rec.usr_eind_datum := usr_eind_datum;
return v_rec;
end user_create_type;
PROCEDURE user_insert(r IN OUT user_rec, p_exusr_id IN users.usr_id%TYPE) IS
BEGIN
--check if allowed
IF(NOT checkallowedactions(p_exusr_id, 117)) THEN
raise_application_error(-20999, 'User is not allowed executing this action');
END IF;
--end check if allowed
SELECT seq_users.nextval
INTO r.usr_id
FROM dual;
SELECT sysdate
INTO r.usr_start_datum
FROM dual;
INSERT
INTO users(usr_id, usr_naam, usr_vnaam, usr_email, usr_pass, usr_start_datum)
VALUES(r.usr_id, r.usr_naam, r.usr_vnaam, r.usr_email, cryptit.encrypt(r.usr_pass), r.usr_start_datum);
END user_insert;
When I excecute my statement I get this error:
Warning: oci_execute() [function.oci-execute]: ORA-06550: line 1, column 39: PLS-00363: expression 'PKG_USERBEHEER_TEST.USER_CREATE_TYPE' cannot be used as an assignment target ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\add_user.php on line 22
But I need the out parameter, because I need my generated ID (Sequence) for futher use in my script.
I'm not able to edit the pl/sql script because an other application is using it.
Somebody can help me?
Thx
Davy

Answer 1

The call to PKG_USERBEHEER_TEST.user_insert needs to pass a single PL/SQL variable as the first argument so that user_insert can return an update record. The OUT declaration of 'r' in user_insert is throwing the error. To that point, the problem is not due to PHP. You would get the same error in SQL*Plus.
But, because you can't bind a record in PHP, you need to create a new PL/SQL function that calls PKG_USERBEHEER_TEST.user_create_type putting the returned record into a PL/SQL variable, and then calls user_insert. PHP would call the wrapper PL/SQL function.
