Description:
------------
I am running the following configuration:
IIS6 (not by choice =)
Windows 2003 Server
PHP Version 5.1.4
Oracle 9i (On a different server)

All works well under Apache2, however the following error occures under IIS6; "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 018994A9". I have tracked down the problem to a resource ID to an Oracle connection that is passed into the constructor of a class as a global (see code below). I can pass in any other variable as a global in the constructor, but not a Oracle resource.

Reproduce code:
---------------
---------------File 1 - dbConnect.inc.php----------------
$oci_c1 = oci_connect(OCI_USER, OCI_PASS, OCI_TNS);
if (!$oci_c1) {
    ... more code ...      
    exit;
} 

---------------File 2 - Document.class.php --------------
require_once('dbConnect.inc.php');

class Document {   
    public function __construct() {
        global $oci_c1, $_SITE;
        .... more code ....
    }
}
    



Expected result:
----------------
It is expected that the resourceID ($oci_c1) becomes avaliable to the class as it does when run under Apache.

If you change the first line of the class to read:
class Document {   
    public function __construct() {
        global $_SITE;
        .... more code ....
    }
}

All works fine, and you have access to the $_SITE var.

Actual result:
--------------
"PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 018994A9".
