PHP and oracle problem

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a chart with php ad oracle. I'm using this code
<?
     function Num_of_Rows($column, $status, $table){                         
          $conn = oci_pconnect("$username", "$passwd", "$host");     
          $sql_query = "SELECT COUNT($column) AS NUMBER_OF_ROWS FROM $table WHERE Status = '$status'";
          $stmt= oci_parse($conn, $sql_query);
          oci_define_by_name($stmt, 'NUMBER_OF_ROWS', $number_of_rows);
          oci_execute($stmt);
          oci_fetch($stmt);
          return $number_of_rows;     
     $result1 = Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Active", "AS_ADMINS");
     $result2= Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Locked", "AS_ADMINS");
     echo $result1;
     echo $result2;
?>
This code works but only once! When I delete the row $result1 = Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Active", "AS_ADMINS"); the second call of the function works and when I delete      $result2= Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Locked", "AS_ADMINS"); the furst call of the function works!
It seems that I can use the function only once and I can't call it again. It seems that the problem is someone else. Do you have an idea?

Answer 1

I don't know what you mean by "works".
Have you tried changing the echo commands so the output is not adjacent?
echo $result1 . "<br>\n";
echo $result2 . "<br>\n";It seems odd to allow an arbitrary tablename but assume that there is always a column called STATUS.
I'd recommend using bind variables where possible.
