New Comment:
But the point is that you are not helping me to solve this problem.
Your attitude is that "I can't fix it, therefore it is not my
problem".
I do not care in whose code the bug exists, the fact that I cannot read
a record containing a VARRAY is a bug. I can do it with MySQL and
PostgreSQL, but not Oracle. That is a serious deficiency.
What you realy need is a status that says "pending update from 3rd
party library" instead of the ubiquitous "bogus", which implies that
the bug reporter does not know what he is talking about.

>but there is no such thing as "if it can't be fixed it ain't broke".
Sure there is.
PHP uses countless third-party libraries and bugs in those libraries
are NOT PHP bugs and this is not a place to report them.
Such bugs fall to "Bogus" category, which means they are not PHP bugs
and should be reported elsewhere.

You can create a feature request when it's fixed in Oracle.
>Then, and only then, will I consider this bug report to be closed.
You may consider anything you like, but this problem still does not
belong to PHP bug tracker.
Please consider also changing your attitude.
You probably misunderstood something, but "shut up and do what I say!"
is not correct attitude to use with a person whom you're asking to help
you to solve _your problem_.

Thus is a genuine bug. Do not mark it as bogus.

Just because YOU are incapable of fixing this bug does *NOT* mean that
it is not a bug and can be marked as "bogus".
There is a saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it", but there is no
such thing as "if it can't be fixed it ain't broke".
If the fault lies with the OCI8 interface provided by Oracle then I
insist that this bug report remain OPEN until such time as the OCI8
interface is fixed, in which case you will be able to make this PHP
extension function properly. Then, and only then, will I consider this
bug report to be closed.

Please re-read what I said in *MY* last message. Just because you are
unable to fix this does not mean that it is not an error. If the fault
lies with the OCI API then please report this problem to the authors of
that API and leave this bug as OPEN until then. If you keep marking it
as BOGUS I will will keep reopening it for the simple reason that this
is a GENUINE bug report, not a fictitious one.
