How to retrieve multiple rows from a stored function with oracle

Question

I\'m trying to create a stored function in oracle that returns multiple rows.

My question is very similar to this one except that I want to fetch a select *

If you are using PHP and you want to access a oracle stored function. You can make use of something like this

//Your connection details
$conn = oci_connect($username, $password, '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = XE)))' );

/* Your query string; you can use oci_bind_by_name to bind parameters or just pass the variable in it*/

$query = "begin :cur := functionName('".$param1."','".$param2."','".$param3."'); end;";
$stid = oci_parse($conn, $query); 
$OUTPUT_CUR = oci_new_cursor($conn);
oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':cur', $OUTPUT_CUR, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);
oci_execute($stid); 
oci_execute($OUTPUT_CUR);
oci_fetch_all($OUTPUT_CUR, $res);

// To get your result  
var_dump($res);

I hope this helps.
