PHP 4.0 Bug #5577: php.exe hanging with php_oci8.dll

From: David.Roussin@RousselPerier.com Operating system: Win NT PHP version: 4.0 Release Candidate 2 PHP Bug Type: Oracle related Bug description: php.exe hanging with php_oci8.dll As advised by thies@digicol.de here is my bug report. (I was thinking of using php to create web application connecting to oracle in order to replace other tools .........) 1. I am able to connect (as long as I use the env variable ORACLE_SID see 2.) and retreive data from oracle BUT the php.exe never ends even if I make a call to exit() in my php script. I tried to locate where it hangs (don't know if it helps) In oci8.c, a call to OCITransRollback (in _oci_conn_list_dtor) is never returning causing php.exe to hang for ever. 2. I actually can not connect using alias in tnsnames.ora, I had to use the environment variable bound to my ORACLE_SID eg: // This Works OK: putenv("ORACLE_SID=db1"); // Local instance ID $conn = ocilogon("tigger","scott",""); // This does *NOT* work: $conn = ocilogon("tigger","scott","dbalias"); // dbalias correctly configured and working with sqlplus. Thanks.
