but no idea how to to it in zend, any help?

Answer 1

I take it you’re using the Zend_Db_Adapter_Oracle adapter? As Zend_Db_Statement_Oracle uses oci_bind_by_name() internally, this can handle both IN and OUT parameters. For OUT parameters, you should always set the type.

Basically, you can simply do this with your statement

$stmt->bindParam('bind_var', $counter, SQLT_INT);
