I've been playing with PHP 5.0.2 on Red Hat Linux, Apache 2 and Oracle 9i. I've seen some of the emails on problems with OCI. I've experienced problems with using both Persistent and non-persistent. Most of the time when I do saves or selects, it works. Occassionally it can no longer find the connection. Each submit, I open/close connections. I do not see this problem in 4.3.8 (though I'm going to debug further). I'm recommending here to not use 5.0.2 but 4.3.8 in production. Want to verify that these are problems with PHP? Or is this an Oracle issue? Kathy
