I am using PHP4.0.6 and apache 1.3.20 (Redhat 7.1), compiled with OCI support (a remote Oracle 8.1.6 on AIX). Everything works as expected, except, it will not disconnect itself. my php scripts make a persistent connection(OCIPLogon) and then logoff (OCILogoff). Even after I quit client browse entirely, those connections are still there. Please note they are not defuncts (netstat -nat reveals those connections on Linux side, as well as within Oracle). There are some posts here mentioned --enable_sigchild, will it help in my case (I am not sure I had it compiled in). Thanks
