Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-15 19:01:26] johnw at sussex dot ac dot uk Description: ------------ Supplying the constant OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY as the second argument (mode) to oci_execute() results in a warning, and oci_execute() returning false. Reproduce code: --------------- The bug is caused by these lines of code in php-5.1.2/ext/oci8/oci_statement.c at line 1351 in the definition of php_oci_statement_execute(): switch (mode) { case OCI_COMMIT_ON_SUCCESS: case OCI_DEFAULT: /* only these two are allowed */ break; default: php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Invalid execute mode given: %d", mode); return 1; break; } Expected result: ---------------- I would expect oci_execute() to pass the mode OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY on to the underlying OCI8 call. I think it is very bad that this non- backward- compatible change has been made without being documented or announced anywhere. I am responsible for an application that is used by several thousands of users daily that relies on OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36403&edit=1
