Bug description:  New Collection not working on Packages

Description:
------------
oci_new_collection() works fine on a 'TYPE' created by a user. However, if
the 'TYPE' is created as part of a package, oci_new_collection() appears
not to find it.



<?php

$c = oci_pconnect(...);
// Works.
sql = 'create or replace type email_array as varray(200) of varchar2(20);
$s = oci_parse($c, $sql);
oci_execute($s, $sql);
$collec = oci_new_collection($c, 'EMAIL_ARRAY');

// Fails
sql = 'create or replace type package.email_array as varray(200) of
varchar2(20);
$s = oci_parse($c, $sql);
oci_execute($s, $sql);
$collec = oci_new_collection($c, 'PACKAGE.EMAIL_ARRAY');

?>

If the TYPE is created as part of the package (and not through PHP), this
also fails. Any combination of user/package/type_name appears not to work.


The workaround is to create a TYPE in teh user global area of the same
type as that in the package, and use that in a wrapper PL/SQL block. While
this works... it kindda defeats the point behind packages.
