ID: 32859 Comment by: tostinni at yahoo dot fr Reported By: Diomedes_01 at yahoo dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: OCI8 related Operating System: Solaris 9 (Server) PHP Version: 5.0.4 Assigned To: tony2001 New Comment:
Hi, I'm using: Win2k SP4 Wamp Server 1.4.5 RC1 (PHP 5.1.0RC1 with OCI8 enabled) Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 I tried to make the documentation example for oci_new_descriptor working and got the same error : OCI_INVALID_HANDLE. I think there's two errors in the documentation which lead to this bug : - you have to execute the statement before doing anything with the clob descriptor (in fact in example 1, this is correct). - the stored procedure you present should have parameters set to OUT in order to bind them to php variables. Here is a working example. 1/ Create an Oracle table with a CLOB column : CREATE MY_TABLE ( MY_CLOB CLOB); 2/ Create a stored procedure to UPDATE/INSERT this clob. CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SAVE_DATA(THE_CLOB OUT CLOB) IS BEGIN INSERT INTO MY_TABLE (MY_CLOB) VALUES (EMPTY_CLOB()) RETURNING MY_CLOB INTO THE_CLOB; END; Note : we can't directly insert the clob into the column, it won't work. We have to bind the clob to a PHP variable and we need to use the RETURNING clause and insert an EMPTY_CLOB() to accomplish this. 3/ The php example to insert a value in our table using the procedure : <?php $data = '1234568790'; $conn = oci_connect($user, $password); $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "begin save_data(:data); end;"); $clob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB); oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ":data", $clob, -1, OCI_B_CLOB); oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT); $clob->write($data); oci_commit($conn); $clob->free(); oci_free_statement($stmt); ?> And "1234567890" get inserted in our column.

I was able to successfully handle any lob operations. When we switched again to PHP 5.0.4 (I rebuilt just to be safe), the problem still persists. One thing to note: we are building against the Oracle 10g release but we had to make some modifications to the configure file to get it to built against the 32 bit libraries. (The oracle default lib directory points to the 64 bit libraries that are incompatible with PHP) We had to perform similar steps when building against Oracle 9i as well. Note that building PHP 4.3.9 against the same 10g 32 bit libraries does work correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-30 00:04:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try both your PHP 4.x installation and PHP 5.x installation against the same database and compare the results. In addition, your PHP 5.x build should have included the writeTemporary method. If it is missing from your build, then it sounds like there was a problem detecting temporary lob support in your environment, and we'd like to track down the cause of that problem in more detail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-14 06:55:39] Diomedes_01 at yahoo dot com With regards to my problem, it was not an issue of the clob not being initialized. I noticed this problem on CLOBs that were already in existence. Using a stored procedure we have that updates the value of the CLOB, that was when I noticed the error. One thing I will verify with our DBA is the possibility that the recent upgrade of the database to UTF-8 could be contributing to the problem. I will try to replicate the issue with PHP 5.0.4 against our older UTF-7 ASCII database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
