Description:
------------
oci_new_collection() works fine on a 'TYPE' created by a user. However, if the 'TYPE' is created as part of a package, oci_new_collection() appears not to find it.



<?php

$c = oci_pconnect(...);
// Works.
sql = 'create or replace type email_array as varray(200) of varchar2(20);
$s = oci_parse($c, $sql);
oci_execute($s, $sql);
$collec = oci_new_collection($c, 'EMAIL_ARRAY');

// Fails
sql = 'create or replace type package.email_array as varray(200) of varchar2(20);
$s = oci_parse($c, $sql);
oci_execute($s, $sql);
$collec = oci_new_collection($c, 'PACKAGE.EMAIL_ARRAY');

?>

If the TYPE is created as part of the package (and not through PHP), this also fails. Any combination of user/package/type_name appears not to work. 

The workaround is to create a TYPE in teh user global area of the same type as that in the package, and use that in a wrapper PL/SQL block. While this works... it kindda defeats the point behind packages. 



Reproduce code:

From manual page: function.oci-new-collection

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is a expected with the current OCI8 implementation.  Code patches to improve PL/SQL object & type support are welcome.
