oci_new_descriptor — Initializes a new empty LOB or FILE descriptor
Allocates resources to hold descriptor or LOB locator.
connectionAn Oracle connection identifier, returned by oci_connect() or oci_pconnect().
type
Valid values for type are:
OCI_DTYPE_FILE, OCI_DTYPE_LOB and
OCI_DTYPE_ROWID.
Returns a new LOB or FILE descriptor on success, or null on failure.
