Operating system: Win95/NT
PHP version: 4.0.4pl1
PHP Bug Type: Oracle related
Bug description: PHP cannot connect to remote Oracle databases
$handle = ora_plogon('scott@remotedb','tiger');
Always returns "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name" or similar errors
indicating Oracle is not reading the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Using sysinternals filemon to
watch PHP accessing files shows the same result, the oracle drivers never read
tnsnames.ora when called from php. SQLNET.log files indicate that PHP is always
attempting to use the BEQLOCAL protocol adapter regardless of the tnsnames.ora
settings. Adding a ORACLE_SID environment variable caused php to try to connect to
that SID at BEQLOCAL.
Users report that Oracle's SQLPLUS and external ODBC programs have no trouble
accessing the remote db. tnsping and other oracle test programs work correctly when
called from a php passthru function, indicating that the environment is correct.
This problem occurs using both OCI and ORACLE functions.
About a half dozen individuals on the php-db list have noted the same problem. To
date no one on the PHP-DB list has claimed to make php work with oracle under windows.
All the users report using php with an oracle 8.x.x client and the precompiled
binaries supplied from the main php site. Many variations of ORACLE_HOME and other env
variable settings have been tried.
Under Unix php does not exhibit the same problem..
