Oracle (oci8) Extension Functions Renamed

The Oracle extension’s function names are now consistent with the rest of PHP. For instance, ocibindbyname( ) is now oci_bind_by_name( ), and ocinewcursor( ) is now oci_new_cursor( ). See Table B-1 for a complete list of old and new function names.

Tip

The old names are preserved for backward compatibility, but should be considered deprecated.
