note 69645 added to function.oci-connect

When you are using Oracle 9.2+ I would say that you MUST use the CHARSET parameter. Of course, you will not notice it until there is accented character... so just specify it and you will avoid a big headache. So for example here is our Oracle internal conf: select * from nls_database_parameters; PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- … NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P15 … And there our oci_connect call: $dbch=ocilogon($user,$pass,$connectString,"WE8ISO8859P15"); Without that, you will get question mark (inversed), squares… instead of most accented character. Don’t forget to use that for writing as well as for reading. ---- Server IP: 193.190.198.20 Probable Submitter: 194.78.5.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69645 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69645/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69645/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69645/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69645/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69645/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69645/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69645 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69645 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
