# oci_field_type_raw

(PHP 5, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)

oci_field_type_raw — Tell the raw Oracle data type of the field

### Description

int oci_field_type_raw ( resource `$statement` , int `$field` )

Returns Oracle's raw data type of the `field`.

However, if you want to get field's type, then oci_field_type() will suit you better.

### Parameters

`statement`

  A valid OCI statement identifier.

`field`

  Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.

### Return Values

Returns Oracle's raw data type as a string, or `FALSE` on errors.

### Notes

> Note: In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocicolumntyperaw() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_field_type_raw() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
