PHP 4.0.3p1 and Oracle8i

Hi! I am trying to get Apache 1.3.14 with PHP 4.0.3p1 to communicate with Oracle8i (8.1.7) on Compaq Tru64 UNIX and Solaris. If I just use putenv to set ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_SID then everything works without problems. However the problem starts when I try to set NLS_LANG. If I set this to for example 'american_america.we8iso8859p1' with 'putenv()' I get the following error message on the webpage: Warning: OCISessionBegin: ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/include_stable/oci8.h on line 22 line 22 is the following line: if ($connection = ocilogon($db_user,$db_passwd)) and it's the first time I try to connect to the database. The main problem is that the above ORA_NLS works in shell without any problems (have also set ORA_NLS33 without any effect). I found an old mail (autumn '99) in the archives with a similiar problem where the solution appeared to be to set these variables in 'apachectl' which can prove to be somewhat tough in my case since I want to be able to access a lot of different Oracle instances and would prefer not to have to mess around with 'apachectl' to fix these kind of problems. Anybody who has any insight/info/solutions/experiences of the same problem? Thanks in advance for any input! /Eskil --------------------------------------------------------------------- Eskil Swahn LDC, Lund University Email: Eskil.Swahn@LDC.lu.se Web: http://www.ldc.lu.se/ Phone: +46 46 222 4986 Fax: +46 46 138225
