Description:
------------
After installing beta 1 simply running php -v from a command window results in the following message:

Deprecated: Directive oci8.old_oci_close_semantics is deprecated in Unknown on line 0


Test script:

php -v

Expected result:
----------------
Expected the version details to be returned without the deprecated message. The deprecated message did not occur with the last alpha release.

This only happens when the oci8_19 extension is enabled in php.ini. When the extension is NOT enable the deprecated error is not shown when running php -v

oci8.old_oci_close_semantics has only recently been deprecated[1].
Apparently you have enabled that setting in your php.ini.

Thank you for the report! There was a bug in beta1 which made the deprecation notice always emitted. It has already been fixed in the meantime: https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/87c181a0b081999b49f50a14050ace6311923023

If you don't have oci8.old_oci_close_semantics enabled, then you won't see this notice as soon as you upgrade to beta2 (to be released ~2 weeks).
