Description:
------------
Instantiating a PDO object from a PHP script that is called from the CLI results in a seg fault. Running the same script from a browser is perfectly ok. I am using PDO + PDO_OCI in a large web app with no problems, but when I coded up some PDO/OCI code to run within a cronjob, this happens.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

try {
        $dbh = new PDO("oci:dbname=<host>", "<user>", "<pass>");
}catch(PDOException $e) {
        die("Error: " . $e->getMessage() );
}
$dbh = null;

echo "I am never reached";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
From the browser I see: "I am never reached".
From the CLI: immediate seg fault.

After more poking around I have determined that this is only a problem when a PDO object with driver type of Oracle is used. Trying to create an empty PDO objects results in missing parameters (good!) but once the "oci:dbname=<db>" argument is thrown in, the seg fault appears. We are re-compiling with debugging enabled, so hopefully soon I can provide more info.

Resolution!

This had to do with how the oci8 library was compiled in. Previously we were doing:

--with-oci8=shared

but removing the "shared" attribute and having just:

--with-oci8

thereby defaulting to "static" works. No more segfaults. Since the PDO modules had to be compiled in as shared we figured the same was true for OCI8. Not the case.

Closing due to found resolution.
