Operating system: RHEL4
PHP version: 5.1.2
PHP Bug Type: OCI8 related
Bug description: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed
Description:
------------
When any oci_connect is called an error message about OCIEnvNlSCreate()
failing is produced.
Workaround: add the apache user to the oracle group. This only occurs in
5.2.1. Previous versions of PHP which I've tried (5.0.3 and 5.1.0) did
not have this problem. Obviously this is a security issue as the apache
user now has a lot more things it can use to wreak havoc.
Oracle version 10.2.0.1.0. Apache version 2.0.52.
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$conn = oci_connect('user', 'pass', 'db');
if (!$conn) {
$e = oci_error();
print htmlentities($e['message']);
exit;
}
Expected result:
----------------
Expect to actually connect to the database
Actual result:
--------------
[error] PHP Warning: oci_connect() [<a
href='function.oci-connect'>function.oci-connect</a>]: OCIEnvNlsCreate()
failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that
ORACLE_HOME is set and points to the right directory in <scriptname> on
line <linenum>
