Abnormal behaviour in OCI_BIND_BY_NAME

I was using the following code to bind variables using oci_bind_by_name but getting returned only single row even though multiple rows were available.

<?php 
    $queryArr = array(11423,24242,2463,23434);
    $sqlarr = array();
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($queryArr); $i++) {
        array_push($sqlarr, ":B$i");
    }
    $sqlstr = implode(",", $sqlarr);
    $sql = "SELECT COL1, COL2, STATUS FROM TAB1 WHERE P_KEY = :USR_ID AND S_COL IN (" . $sqlstr . ") ORDER BY STATUS";
    $this->sth = oci_parse($this->con, $sql);
    oci_bind_by_name($this->sth, ":USR_ID", $usrid);
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($queryArr); $i++) {
        $bid = $queryArr[$i];
        oci_bind_by_name($this->sth, ":B$i", $bid);
    }
    oci_execute($this->sth);
?>

After spending 3 hours finding the error in the code I found that the problem is with OCI_BIND_BY_NAME. I changed the above code as below and I was getting all the rows now.

<?php 
    $queryArr = array(11423,24242,2463,23434);
    $sqlarr = array();
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($queryArr); $i++) {
        array_push($sqlarr, ":B$i");
    }
    $sqlstr = implode(",", $sqlarr);
    $sql = "SELECT COL1, COL2, STATUS FROM TAB1 WHERE P_KEY = :USR_ID AND S_COL IN (" . $sqlstr . ") ORDER BY STATUS";
    $this->sth = oci_parse($this->con, $sql);
    oci_bind_by_name($this->sth, ":USR_ID", $usrid);
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($queryArr); $i++) {
    //Changed code --START--
        $bindName = ":B".$i;
        oci_bind_by_name($this->sth, $bindName, $queryArr[$i]);
    //Changed code --END--
    }
    oci_execute($this->sth);
?>

Can someone please explain the reason behind this...?

So as a summary:

When creating a variable by appending string and using it in OCI_BIND_BY_NAME then it's working fine but when I am directly appending string in the function then it's not working correctly. Also, it's not giving any error message. It's getting executed but returning only single row.

Your first example is binding $bid in each iteration, i.e the same variable location (memory address) is reused. See the related example 'Example #3 Binding with a foreach() loop' in the oci_bind_by_name() documentation:

foreach ($ba as $key => $val) {

    // oci_bind_by_name($stid, $key, $val) does not work
    // because it binds each placeholder to the same location: $val
    // instead use the actual location of the data: $ba[$key]
    oci_bind_by_name($stid, $key, $ba[$key]);
}
