ID: 7446 Updated by: kalowsky Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Oracle related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.3pl1 Assigned To: Comments: the TNS Names error has also been seen in the ODBC section of PHP. The method found to remove this error has been to edit your SQLNames.ora and TNSNames.ora file to remove all windows carriage returns (\r\n) and replace it with UNIX style carriage returns (\n). Why? At this time, it's unknown, but is believed to be a problem with the Oracle or windows drivers. I believe this fix above should also fix the problem for you! If not, please re-open the bug....

A user program linked with an obsolete library may also cause this message. Only programs provided by Oracle Corporation should use this interface. Action: If the message occurred during use of a program provided by Oracle Corporation, contact customer support. If a user program caused the message, relink the program with current versions of the Oracle libraries. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
