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