Description:
------------
Hello,

I'm reporting this bug not to get a fix but more to let other people know about the issue and the workaround.

I used PHP 5.2.9/oci8 1.3.5 (not possible to set an earlier version :() with $ORACLE_HOME to 10g client's libraries.
After the database upgrade from 10g to 11gR2, it worked fine until a crash append (core dump with apache). The matter was a new 11g functionality: password expiration!

As soon as I mentioned the new $ORACLE_HOME to 11gR2 client's library, I get this PHP Warning error:

Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO: ORA-28002: the password will expire within 6 days

BTW, thx for this extension that works pretty well. (even if I don't know why DRCP doesn't work with RAC... surely an Oracle issue more than this driver !)

Regards,
Wilfried

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$co = oci_connect('user', 'pwd', 'db');


Expected result:
----------------
// with 11g $ORACLE_HOME
Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO: ORA-28002: the password will expire within 6 days


Actual result:
--------------
// with 10g $ORACLE_HOME => ORA-28002 is not supported => httpd goes into a core dump

Hello, I too had this problem. But I didn't see any info in php logs, I only had application crashes of Apache server. I too was using an account with password that will expire. I was expecting some warning or an error, but only crashes. I was using version 1.4.1 of php_oci8.dll

My config:
Windows 2003 with SP2
Apache 2.2.11
PHP 5.2.9 + some extensions

I resolved problem with this steps:
1. Downloaded zip package of the php 5.2.9 TS - http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/php-5.2.9-1-Win32-VC6-x86.zip
2. Extracted and copied php_oci8.dll to my php extension dir.
3. Followed instructions from here http://md.php.net/manual/en/oci8.installation.php for setting Common Oracle Environment Variables - added to my Environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and TNS_ADMIN.
4. Restarted Apache. Called oci_connect. Everything is working. And now I see in php log info about that user defined in oci_connect has password that will expire within XX days.

Sorry, I forgot to write version of Oracle - I'm working with Oracle 10g2 and Oracle client has version 10g2
