$ncols = oci_num_fields($stid);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $ncols; $i++) {
echo oci_field_name($stid, $i) . " " . oci_field_type($stid, $i) . "<br>\n";

oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
?>
Notes
Note:
In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocinumcols() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_num_fields() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
