I'm trying to run some SQL in Oracle that returns a single value...

$sql_getID = "SELECT max(CUSTID_NUM) from cfull2.tbl_dl_customers";

how the hell do I get that number into a variable?

I've tried a dozen different things, but the documentation is so sparse and
it's all about getting rows of data...

        $stmt_getID = OCIParse ( $connection , $sql_getID );
        OCIExecute ( $stmt_getID , OCI_DEFAULT );
        $Max_ID = 1;
        echo "Max_ID (check1) = $Max_ID <br />\n";    //echoes 1
        while (OCIFetchInto($stmt_getID, $row, OCI_ASSOC)) {
                $Max_ID = $row[CUSTID_NUM];
                echo "Max_ID (check2) = $Max_ID <br />\n";    //echoes
nothing
        }
        $Max_ID++;
        echo "Max_ID (check3) = $Max_ID <br />\n";   // echoes 1

This WHILE statement is just the last thing I've tried...  All I want to do
is put the result of the SQL line above in to a variable....

Thanks in advance all
