Re: [PHP4BETA] PHP4 Betas

Hello David, Let me preface this with the statement, I am not a php developer, but I am following the development fairly closely. I tested your script with both a CVS snapshot from 10/05/99 as well as the current CVS, and the problem appears to be fixed in both. When I first tried beta2, I noticed this problem as well as lost OCI connections in the middle of processing a script. This appears to be completely solved now. For information, my database is Oracle 8i Enterprise on Solaris, with Linux clients running RH 6.0, using Apache 1.3.9. Hope this answers your questions, Chris Vaughan --- Bell Labs Unix -- Reach out and grep someone.
