note 91988 added to function.oci-connect

When using the OCI_CRED_EXT in php if the ENV $ORACLE_SID is set the DB does not need to be specified explicitly and the connection will fail unless you provide a NULL DB value when creating the connection. The $ORACLE_SID trumps the TNS name look up for the connection. So even a manual connection string in the DB parameter will fail. So when the $ORACLE_SID Env is set a NULL passed instead of the DB name connects successfully. Hope this saves some hair pulling when moving to %.3 and OS Authentications ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 199.166.15.246 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91988 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91988/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91988/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91988/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91988/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91988/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91988/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91988 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91988 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
