Doc #68534 [NEW]: Ambiguity about oci_close and persistent connection

From: ashnazg Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Ambiguity about oci_close and persistent connection Description: ------------ The manual page for oci_close() ends with this note: "Note: The oci_close() function does not close the underlying database connections created with oci_pconnect()." However, the manual page for the oci8.persistent_timeout setting highlights this: "Note: In PHP 5.3 (PECL OCI8 1.3), persistent connections can be closed with oci_close()." Does this second note mean the first note is incorrect? Or, does the wording of the second note mean that oci_close does close persistent connections, but **only** in 5.3? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68534&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68534&r=mysqlcfg
