# ora_getcolumn

(PHP 4, PHP 5 <= 5.0.5)

ora_getcolumn — Get data from a fetched column

### Description

string ora_getcolumn ( resource `$cursor` , int `$column` )

Fetches the data for a column or function result.

### Parameters

`cursor`

  An Oracle cursor, opened with ora_open().

`column`

  The column number, as an integer.

### Return Values

Returns the column data. If an error occurs, `FALSE` is returned and ora_errorcode() will return a non-zero value. Note, however, that a test for `FALSE` on the results from this function may be `TRUE` in cases where there is not error as well (`NULL` result, empty string, the number 0, the string "0").

### ChangeLog
