PHP 4.0 Bug #2559: OCIBindByName doesn't work

From: smweb@ihost.de Operating system: SuSE Linux 6.2 PHP version: 4.0 Beta 2 PHP Bug Type: Oracle related Bug description: OCIBindByName doesn't work Oracle Version: 8i (8.1.5) SuSE Linux Version: 6.2 Hi, I installed Apache and PHP successfully, but there's the following problem: Normal SELECT statements and other stuff works perfectly, but just OCIDefineByName doesn't work. When I use the following code: === snip // query db for number of rows $stmt = OCIParse($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) XCOUNT FROM foo WHERE no = 23"); //OCIBindByName($stmt, ":no", &$intNumber, 3); OCIDefineByName($stmt, "XCOUNT", &$intRows); OCIExecute($stmt); OCIFetch($stmt); OCIFreeStatement($stmt); === snip It works perfectly. But when I change it to this (uncomment the 3rd line and replace the 23 by :no), there's no answer from PHP and the script seems to hang (or sometimes 'Document contains no data.'): === snip // query db for number of rows $stmt = OCIParse($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) XCOUNT FROM foo WHERE no = :no"); OCIBindByName($stmt, ":no", &$intNumber, -1); OCIDefineByName($stmt, "XCOUNT", &$intRows); OCIExecute($stmt); OCIFetch($stmt); OCIFreeStatement($stmt); === snip Does anyone experience the same problem? Is there a work-around or solution? Regards, - Steffen
