Any benefit in using ocibindbyname for input to oracle stored_procs rather than just PHP vars?

Database cache!!! I think it's the best way.
When you use a PHP vars calling oracle with oci client, internally 
oracle have to perform a querry statemnt with new threat.
If you use a ocibindbyname the querry it's stored in the DB cache and 
all of threath returned by the first querry. All that oracle do it's 
substituted the new values in parameters an execute a new querry saved 
in DB cache.
In the db cache oracle stored the logon and permisions too.
I think it's the best benefit when you calling a repeat querry.
