What version of client libraries are you using?

Oracle Call Interface

Revision: 1.257.2.8

>Oracle Call Interface
I'm sure it's OCI, but I was asking about its version.
I mean are you using Oracle Instant Client _10_ or old libraries from Oracle _8i_ or _9i_ ?

Short version: install Instant Client and see if it works.

I use client Oracle 9i client libraries. They are not compatible with PHP 5.1.2?

I am aware that the issue is reported by someone else on prior versions of PHP 5.x, and I am aware the issue is reportedly resolved, but the crash problem of the PHP 5.x SAPI for Apache appears to have risen again.

I used the following code on PHP 5.1.2 (SAPI) on both Apache 2.0 (official binaries) and 2.2 (compiled SAPI module with VC .Net 2003) on Windows XP SP2, and Apache would crash with a Windows dialog box that indicates the crash.  Through trial and error through comment blocks, I found that Apache crashed upon executing "OCI_PARSE($conn,$sql);", where the connection to the Oracle DB server via a local client appears to have been successful (Oracle client 8.1.7.0.0 connecting to Oracle server 8.1.7.4.0).

Interestingly though, the following code does work successfully (as expected) for both Apache 2.0 and 2.2 when used in conjunction with their corresponding PHP SAPI modules from PHP 5.1.1 on the same combination of OS, compiler, oracle client and server.

Thanks for the time, and I would still like to thank the PHP devs on their works on this great program.

--------------CODE used to trigger the crash on PHP 5.1.2--

<?
  $un = 'someone';
  $pw = 'foo';
  $db = 'somedb';
  
  $conn = oci_connect($un, $pw, $db);
		
  if (!$conn)
  {
    echo("DB Connection failed!");
    exit;
  }
		
  $dev_id = $_POST["dev_id"];
		
  $sql = 'SELECT FOO FROM SOME_TABLE WHERE DEV_ID = :DEV';
  $qry = OCI_PARSE($conn,$sql);
  
  OCI_BIND_BY_NAME($qry, ":DEV", $dev_id, -1);
		
  OCI_EXECUTE($qry);
		
?>

-----------------------------------------------------------
I had the same problem and I fixed it. I recently upgraded from PHP 4.2 to PHP 5.1.2 and suddenly my PHP/Oracle scripts were not working. Apache would just crash everytime I called oci_parse(). I fixed the problem by downloading a new php_oci8.dll from this site:
http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_oci8.dll

My scripts started working instantly after I replaced the php_oci8.dll from the PHP 5.1.2 with the one from this website.
