note 63303 added to ref.oci8

Apache 1.3, Oracle 9.2, PHP 5.1.2 on Windows XP Pro. Very weird behavior with php_oci8.dll coming with the full windows build (I downloaded yesterday...). Couldn't get any of the examples to work, it appears Apache crashes on oci_parse, but not so if I program "C style": while this doesn't work: <?php $db_conn = oci_connect("scott","tiger"); $parsed = oci_parse($db_conn,"select * from emp"); <-- Apache crashes on execution of this statement // etc... ?> this does: <?php function main($connection) { $parsed = oci_parse($connection,"select * from emp"); $r = oci_execute($parsed, OCI_DEFAULT); // etc... } $db_conn = oci_connect("scott","tiger"); main($db_conn); oci_close($db_conn); ?> Took me the whole day, then I found Francesco Marsan's note (THANKS!) dated February 9th, 2006... and indeed, downloading from http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_oci8.dll solved the problem instantly. ---- Server IP: 194.153.94.11 Probable Submitter: 83.79.15.185 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63303 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63303/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63303/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63303/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63303/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63303/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63303/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63303 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63303 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
