PHP 4.0 Bug #9876: OCIPLogon flaky after restart Oracle

From: merrill@missioncriticallinux.com Operating system: Redhat 6.1 Linux PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: OCI8 related Bug description: OCIPLogon flaky after restart Oracle ./configure' '--prefix=/var/php' '--with-config-file-path=/var/php' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-sigchild' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.14' '--with-ftp' '--with-xml' '--with-mcrypt=/var/libmcrypt' '--with-pgsql=/var/postgresql' '--with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6' '--with-mysql=/var/mysql' When using OCIPLogon for persistent connections, I'm noticing that after restarting Oracle, that my PHP application starts getting Oracle errors(ORA-03113 and ORA-03114). This can be fixed by restarting the webserver after restarting Oracle. I also notice that changing my Oracle connections from OCIPLogon to OCILogon fixes the problem - after making that change I get no errors after restarting Oracle, and I *don't* have to restart the webserver. The OCI8 interface must have a bug, right? I shouldn't have to restart the webserver after restarting Oracle just because I'm using persistent connections, should I? -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9876&edit=1
