Hi,
We're having problems connecting to an Oracle 9i db using PHP 5.2.1 and OCI8. Also, we are using IIS 5.1.
PHP is working--we can see the info.php page. On the info.php page I see that OCI8 is enabled.
But a simple page with an Oracle connection like this returns only 'hello' from the print statement and then nothing:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<?php print("hello"); ?>
<?php
$conn = OCILogon([user], [pwd], [tnsnames entry]);
$query = 'select table_name from user_tables';
$stid = OCIParse($conn, $query);
OCIExecute($sti d, OCI_DEFAULT);
while ($succ = OCIFetchInto($s tid, $row)) {
foreach ($row as $item) {
echo $item." ";
}
echo "<br>\n";
}
OCILogoff($conn );
?>
</body>
</html>
The path seems correct. The first entry is the PHP directory and the 2nd entry is the Oracle directory where the OCI .dlls reside.
The same login/pwd@tns_entry can be accessed through sqlplus located in the same directory as the OCI .dlls.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

OK, the problem was with our Oracle client setup. The TNSNames.Ora file that we were using had entries that ended with '.world'. We were originally using Oracle's instant client which doesn't have a sqlnet.ora configuration file. We installed the standard Oracle 10g client instead and configured the sqlnet.ora file so that it included this line:
NAMES.DEFAULT_D OMAIN = WORLD
Surprisingly to me, sqlplus worked when we had the instant client installed even though the OCI dlls used by PHP did not.
I believe the instant client can be made to work as well even with the '.world' entries by adding some configuration information to the tnsnames.ora file. But I have not tried this out.
I hope this is helpful to somebody.

Hi,
I had just a horrible day at work, spent pretty much the entire day
trying to get php_oci.dll and php_oracle.dll to load. It still never
did.
Super Quick Background.
Jack of all trades IT guy, have written many tools using perl and JSP
in the past.
Had a chance to do a big project, and figured I would use it to learn
PHP.

Hi,
we got a strange problem connecting to an Oracle database onsite with
our PHP application: During CSV import job handled by our application,
PHP opens up to some hundred connections to the database. It then
eventually fails to connect to the database due to the high number of
open connections.
We are not able to reproduce this behaviour on our internal
installations, we get up to 30 connections until the job is finished.
