Just because YOU are incapable of fixing this bug does *NOT* mean that
it is not a bug and can be marked as "bogus".
There is a saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it", but there is no
such thing as "if it can't be fixed it ain't broke".
If the fault lies with the OCI8 interface provided by Oracle then I
insist that this bug report remain OPEN until such time as the OCI8
interface is fixed, in which case you will be able to make this PHP
extension function properly. Then, and only then, will I consider this
bug report to be closed.

Please re-read what I said in *MY* last message. Just because you are
unable to fix this does not mean that it is not an error. If the fault
lies with the OCI API then please report this problem to the authors of
that API and leave this bug as OPEN until then. If you keep marking it
as BOGUS I will will keep reopening it for the simple reason that this
is a GENUINE bug report, not a fictitious one.

This is a bug, and until you are able to provide a workable solution
then I insst that it remains a bug. The documenation does not show how
to do what I want to do, therefore the documentation is inadequate.

Of course you can and I've already pointed you to the function you can
use for that.
>Until you can prove
Sorry, I'm not going to prove anything.
Open the documentation and learn how to use it yourself.
Please do not reopen the report unless you know how to implement it.

No, it's a place for reporting bugs, and this is a bug. I can write a
database record containing a VARRAY column but I cannot read it back
again. I can do this simple task with MySQL and PostgreSQL, but not
with Oracle.
Until you can prove that this simple task is possible with the aid of
sample code - and do not waste my time by referring to the manual as
the code samples there are next to useless - then this will continue to
be a bug.
If this is a problem caused by a deficiency in Oracle's OCI API then I
suggest you contact Oracle (try christopher.jones at oracle dot com)
and point out this serious deficiency.
Do TOAD and Oracle SQL Developer use the OCI API? They don't have any
problems with the reading and writing of VARRAY fields, so if they can
do it why can't you?
