  SELECT * FROM institution;
END;

If you use the PDO engine

/* Define output */
$output = "";    

/* The call */
$stmt= $pdo->prepare("CALL view_institution(?)");

/* Binding Parameters */
$stmt->bindParam($parameter1, $output);
 
/* Execture Query */
$stmt->execute();

/* Get output on the screeen */
print_r($output, true);

If you use oci

/* The call */
$sql = "CALL view_institution(:parameter)";

/* Parse connection and sql */
$stmt= oci_parse($conn, $sql);
 
/* Binding Parameters */
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':parameter', $yourparameter) ;

/* Execute */
$res = oci_execute($stmt);

/* Get the output on the screen */
print_r($res, true);
