    Some packages in oracle are functions, and that functions returns a cursor.

    For example:

    CREATE FUNCTION F_Function( p1 char(2), p2 int)
      RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
    AS
      my_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
    BEGIN
      OPEN my_cursor FOR SELECT * FROM allitems
                               WHERE (cod=p1)
                                          AND (Number=p2);
      RETURN my_cursor;
    END F_Function;

    Here is the code that allows to obtain data from a function that returns a cursor.

    <pre>
    <?php
    $conn    =oci_connect("server", "user", "pass");
    if (!    $conn) {
            $e = oci_error();
            trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message']), E_USER_ERROR);
    }

            //You must asign before.
            $p1 = '03';
            $p2 = 2012016191;

            $stid = oci_parse($conn, 'begin :cursor := server.PKG_package.F_Function(:p1,:p2); end;');
            $p_cursor = oci_new_cursor($conn);

            //Send parameters variable  value  lenght
            oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':p1', $p1,2);
            oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':p2', $p2,10);

            //Bind Cursor     put -1
            oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':cursor', $p_cursor, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);

            // Execute Statement
            oci_execute($stid);
            oci_execute($p_cursor, OCI_DEFAULT);

            oci_fetch_all($p_cursor, $cursor, null, null, OCI_FETCHSTATEMENT_BY_ROW);
        echo     '<br>';
            print_r($cursor);
    ?>

    Oracle 11.2 introduced support for REF CURSOR prefetching

    Because OCI8 uses "prefetching" to greatly improve returning query results, but Oracle doesn't support prefetching for REF CURSORs, application performance using REF CURSORs can be greatly improved by writing a PL/SQL function that pulls data from the REF CURSOR and PIPEs the output. The new function can be queried in a SELECT as if it were a table.  See http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/2008/11/
