In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use
<span class="function"><a href="function.ocinewcollection.html" class="function">ocinewcollection()</a></span> instead. This name still can be
used, it was left as alias of <span class="function"><strong>oci_new_collection()</strong></span> for
downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
