Hi,

I installed Apache and PHP successfully, but there's the following problem: Normal SELECT statements and other stuff works perfectly, but just OCIDefineByName doesn't work. When I use the following code:

=== snip

// query db for number of rows
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) XCOUNT FROM foo WHERE no = 23");
//OCIBindByName($stmt, ":no", &$intNumber, 3);
OCIDefineByName($stmt, "XCOUNT", &$intRows);
OCIExecute($stmt);
OCIFetch($stmt);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);

=== snip

It works perfectly. But when I change it to this (uncomment the 3rd line and replace the 23 by :no), there's no answer from PHP and the script seems to hang (or sometimes 'Document contains no data.'):

=== snip

// query db for number of rows
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) XCOUNT FROM foo WHERE no = :no");
OCIBindByName($stmt, ":no", &$intNumber, -1);
OCIDefineByName($stmt, "XCOUNT", &$intRows);
OCIExecute($stmt);
OCIFetch($stmt);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);

=== snip

Does anyone experience the same problem? Is there a work-around or solution?
