Silly me you do need it so rare that I use it day to day.
In my case I usualy use it like this
$c->bind_param_inout(":p_new_id",\$p_new_id,SQL_DECIMAL);
or more properly
$c->bind_param_inout(":p_new_id",\$p_new_id,ORA_NUMBER);
basiclly not to get into the low down stuff in OCI we have to tell
OCIBindByName how many bytes to expect for this bind.
from the OCI doc
'The size in bytes of the data value pointed to by dvoid pointer valuepThe size
in bytes of the data value pointed to by dvoid pointer valuep"
Hope this helps.
cheers
