RE: bizarre ocilogon problem

Are you running out of logons? You should only need the client libraries on the machine with the PHP pages. You do not need them anywhere else. (That's the beauty of the web!) Make sure you have ocilogoff in your PHP page when you're done. Even better (for performance reasons) create a session. Then ONLY the first time that any of your pages load, run your ocilogon. After that just reuse the logon. From then on, just make a new statement everytime you need to query the database. Lastly, when I used PHP/Apache/Linux to talk to Oracle/NT4, I was getting stray defunct oracle processes hanging around on my Linux box. The effect was that pages would work from one client PC, but not from another. I think everytime I created a connection, it created the process. The only way I could find to get around that was to recompile PHP with --enable-sigchild. This is PHP's own signal handler and it will clean up the stray oracle processes.

When I switch to another PC with the same OS/browser (NT/IE5) I get an error: call to unsupported or undefined function ocilogon() We have the client libs installed but it's only on one or two machines that this fails. Any ideas why? Cheers Max
