<para>
Returns an array containing the next result-set row of a query.
Each array entry corresponds to a column of the row. This function
is typically called in a loop until it returns &false;, indicating
no more rows exist.
</para>
<para>
If <parameter>statement</parameter> corresponds to a PL/SQL block
returning Oracle Database 12c Implicit Result Sets, then rows from
all sets are consecutively fetched. If
<parameter>statement</parameter> is returned
by <function>oci_get_implicit_resultset</function>, then only the
subset of rows for one child query are returned.

&reftitle.returnvalues;
<para>
Returns an array with associative and/or numeric indices. If there
are no more rows in the <parameter>statement</parameter> then
&false; is returned.
</para>
<para>
By default, <literal>LOB</literal> columns are returned as LOB descriptors.
</para>
<para>
<literal>DATE</literal> columns are returned as strings formatted
to the current date format. The default format can be changed with
Oracle environment variables such as <literal>NLS_LANG</literal> or
by a previously executed <literal>ALTER SESSION SET
NLS_DATE_FORMAT</literal> command.
</para>
<para>
Oracle's default, non-case sensitive column names will have
uppercase associative indices in the result array. Case-sensitive
column names will have array indices using the exact column case.
Use <function>var_dump</function> on the result array to verify the
appropriate case to use for each query.
</para>
<para>
The table name is not included in the array index. If your query
contains two different columns with the same name,
use <constant>OCI_NUM</constant> or add a column alias to the query
to ensure name uniqueness, see example #7. Otherwise only one
column will be returned via PHP.
