Description:
------------
I get this error when I try to connect to a local oracle instance with oci8:

"OCIEnvNlsCreate()
failed.
There is something wrong with your system - please check that
ORACLE_HOME
is set and points to the right directory"

Under exactly the same configuration, but using PHP 5.1.1 it works as expected.
Of course, ORACLE_HOME is correctly defined, and all the environment variables (it works with 5.1.1). The permissions of the tnsnames.ora file are correct (Oracle's 10gR2 bad decision in my opinion).

I can send further information, just tell me what.

Thanks in advance.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Any attempt to connect.

Expected result:
----------------
An oci8 resource

Actual result:
--------------
"OCIEnvNlsCreate()
failed.
There is something wrong with your system - please check that
ORACLE_HOME
is set and points to the right directory"

Is there a change in the code that connects to Oracle?? Other way, I don't think it would work. If the bug has been corrected, then I will try the next release. Until then, I'll have to keep 5.1.1. Sorry, but this is a production server. I don't think it would be correct to install a development version.

Thank you very much.

Maybe there is. Or maybe there isn't. Just test the snapshot.

Failing OCIEnvNlsCreate() clearly means that either ORACLE_HOME or some other env variable is invalid or is not set *BEFORE* httpd process is started.
And we can't get any additional info in this case, no.
