Connect to oracle

[tanmoy1048]

I am really new in this field. I just install php5 and apache2 in debian OS. And I have machine named "neptune" and a oracle (10.2.0.2) DB named "TEST".

 

Now how to connect it with php code?

 

please help me.

I tried,

<?php

phpinfo();

 

 

$connection = oci_connect("PROD7","THWORD7","//neptune:1521/TEST");

if (!$connection) {

$e = oci_error();

echo htmlentities($e['message']);

}

?>

 

 

and I got the error,

Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_connect().

did you install the Oracle client libraries?

Right.  You need to read the php manual in regards to installing support for oracle.  http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php

 

Your phpinfo() should indicate that there is the oci8 is installed.  There are also some instructions at the Oracle technology network for this stuff.  The most recent server I did this for (linux) I used the oracle instant client.
