#36250 [Opn]: PHP Causes ORA-07445 Core dump in Oracle server 9.2.x

ID: 36250 User updated by: fred dot cohen at iridium dot com Reported By: fred dot cohen at iridium dot com Status: Open Bug Type: OCI8 related Operating System: Solaris 9 PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: Oracle is claiming OCIPing isn't a supported in anything less than oracle 10.2 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-01 19:49:51] fred dot cohen at iridium dot com Description: ------------ This isn't a bug in PHP, but I'm submitting it since Oracle currently has no patch available and it's cause isn't obvious. Using the Instant Client 10.2 and PHP 5.1.2 connecting to Oracle 9.2.0.7 we began seeing ORA-07445 errors immediately after upgrading to the versions listed. They may appear to occur intermittently, but they can happen as frequently as the oci8.ping_interval value. I've traced it down to the OCIPing call in the oci extension. It turns out any calls to OCIPing cause the error in the server. Workaround: In php.ini [oci8] section, set: oci8.ping_interval=-1 I'll provide updates about possible patches from Oracle as soon as they're able to respond. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36250&edit=1
