ID: 40542 Comment by: jmgonet at iware dot ch Reported By: marvin at chag dot net Status: Open Bug Type: OCI8 related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment:
I have just the same problem, executing a PHP script as a Windows' batch. I've set the NLS_LANG environment variable to 'NLS_LANG=FRENCH_SWITZERLAND.WE8PC850'. I'm using Oracle 10 light client. I've found in this (http://dbforums.com/t927204.html) and other forums, a possible explanation: 'NLS_LANG cannot be changed by alter session, NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY can.'

Unfortunately our companies security policies does not allow such an approach. But I will happily investigate the problem according to your requirements and send you the debugging information & results you need to isolate the problematic lines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-20 10:03:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] >So I kindly ask, wether you please can tell me what else >should cause this problem, if not PHP / OCI8? Sure. I'd look in Oracle or in the client library. With such an old version it's no wonder there are problems. Though, we can try do it this way: Please install 5.1.1 and make sure it does work fine. Then I'll need an unprivileged ssh account on your machine to install 5.2.1, reproduce the problem and investigate it. I'll also need Oracle connection details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-20 07:52:53] marvin at chag dot net open again ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-19 13:37:20] marvin at chag dot net Hi Tony2001, The only change to our systems is switching between PHP <= 5.1.1 and PHP >= 5.1.2 (today it was 5.2.1). The result is: for PHP <= 5.1.1 the database connections are working fine and for PHP >= 5.1.2 they are not. So I kindly ask, wether you please can tell me what else should cause this problem, if not PHP / OCI8? Sadly upgrading this databases in this special configuration is no option. PHP documentation http://de.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php states that OCI8 can be used for Oracle 7 and 8 databases, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-19 13:14:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not PHP problem. I'd also recommend upgrading the DB, 8i is not supported by Oracle for a long time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
