Oracle version is 8.1.6, load on the oracle server is fairly low and server is setup with default settings for Solaris. Apache version is 1.3.14 running as user "nobody" There is no observed connectivity problems using sqlplus or other oracle utilities. Environment variables are set properly. and queries work properly at least 40% of the time (just click the reload button in the browser). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13030&edit=1
