PHP 4.0 Bug #8708: special chars insertion into oracle / NLS_LANG ?

From: jl.barranger@wappup.com Operating system: linux mandrake PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: OCI8 related Bug description: special chars insertion into oracle / NLS_LANG ? hi ! this our very painful problem... we've been able to use php4.O.0 with Oracle 8i and use OCI functions to insert and retrieve datas in Our TAbles.. We can't do it no more, as special chars are transformed badly on insert... maybe since we installed PHP 4.01 pl2. Apache config as been checked as well as Oracle. with php 4.0.0 the virtual host was configured with an special NLS_LANG env. var set to the WE8DEC value... wich seems to be very specific and not so usual... this value is still registerd but can't resolve the problem. any other script (perl) from anyother source than our web server (www.wappup.com) is able to insert proper datas... but our php scripts can't. we tried to set an environnement variable with php special functions, but it changed nothing. we're in contact with Oracle support but i'm afraid they won't help us... is there anyone in your brillant team who will send us a solution ??? thanks for all and patience in uncrypting myvery poor english cusoon("jl barranger"); -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8708&edit=1
