Connect to oracle database with php script

Hello!
How can I connect to an Oracle database with a PHP script? I read about it at www.php.net:
"Oracle 8 functions; These functions allow you to access Oracle8 and Oracle7 databases. It uses the Oracle8 Call-Interface (OCI8). You will need the Oracle8 client libraries to use this extension."
Where can I get these libraries from?
Who knows more about the issue?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Install and put working a sqlnet working client (install the Oracle Client option of the Oracle Database CD ROM). Than compile php with the --oci option. Than try the samples in php.net (oci function in the help).
These are the steps... Put everything working is a little more complicated...

Connect to oracle database with visual studio 2005

Hi, i have a oracle database called orcl (10.2). I am trying to connect with this database with visual studio 2005. I do this:
In Server Explorer, right click in Data Connection and click in add connection.
I choose oracle database and oracle provider.
In server name I write the name of my computer, and i write the user and pass of the data base (sys or system) but it gives me this error: "ora-12514 listener doesnt know the asket for service in the description one of connection" (translated of Spanish)
what i have to write in server name? host, host:port, LISTENER,.... what?
Thanks

Sometimes, you can check names using from the command line:
$> tnsping <orcl>

Connect to oracle database with Oracle.DataAccess.Lite_wce.dll

With Oracle.DataAccess.Lite_wce.dll i want to ceonnect to oracle database.
I try like:
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection("Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=baza1)));User Id=xx;Password=xx;");
conn.Open();
but it said "S1000[POL-3023] the database does not exist".
What i am doing wrong?

what client are you using if you are using windows mobile then
use
Oracle.DataAccess.Lite.dll on the handheld
connection string is "dsn=databasename;uid=SYSTEM;pwd=userpassword"
the username is always system, the passw0rd the the user password of the specific user that the handheld is created for, the database name depends you can see it in the device->orace->odbc.txt file
if your re on c# then you should write
using Oracle.DataAccess.Lite;
LiteConnection OraCon;
OraCon = new LiteConnection(connectionstring);
OraCon.Open();

Connect to Oracle database from Perl on Solaris x86

Hi,
How can I connect to Oracle database using Perl scripts on Solaris x86. It seems that DBD-Oracle Perl module requires Oracle client installed to work. Is there any Oracle client available for Solaris x86? Any one got a workaround? Thanks.
Angus Lee

Yes, you absolutely must have some portions of the rdbms installed before you can proceed. If your Solaris x86 machine is only a client, then you can get away with installing just ?/rdbms/mesg and ?/rdbms/lib.
I have Oracle 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.0.6, and 8.1.6 for Intel Solaris 2.6. I don't know if they'll run on Solaris 8 or 9 but I'm trying to upgrade at this very moment. As long as you conform to Oracle developer license, then you may download them from my machine.
I believe the reason Oracle dropped their Intel Solaris port is probably because Sun went through a period where they themselves dropped their Intel port. They've picked back up and if enough Oracle on Intel Solaris customers scream, then Oracle might pick it back up again too.
Send me an email if you're interested in the downloads.

Note that this forum is for XE Beta, not EE.
Can you connect from some other client tool, such as sqlplus?
There's a {forum:id=178} forum that may be more suitable, if basic connectivity outside php works (i.e. issue is only php specific).

Find the hostname and service name of the database and use those values in the ORA_CON_DB constant.
Use 'lsnrctl status' on the database host to find the service name.
If you use a "tns" alias, you may need to create a tnsnames.ora file where PHP can access it.
Set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN (on Linux) to the directory containing the file.
See the section "Oracle Database Name Connection Identifiers" p 102 of the free book

Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
SQLSTATE: NA000
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
Thank you,
Eric Edwards

Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
name.domain.subdomain
then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

Connecting MS-Access database with Oracle Forms

Hai,
Can any one suggest as to how I can connect MS-Access database
with Oracle Developer Forms. What is the procedure ? Suggest me
if I need to install any drivers. Waiting for an early reply.
Warm Regards,
Raghav.
email:[email protected]

Not possible as far as I know.
Probably because ODBC itself (the defined interface) doesn't support it.
There is a commercial MS Access (java only) driver that might support it.

Unable to connect to Oracle Database using Oracle Sql developer 2.1.1.64

Hi Everyone,
I am searching for some help regarding my problem with Oracle connectivity. I have installed Oracle 11g release 2 on my Windows XP Professional Laptop. For a few days after installation i could connect to the Oracle database with the SYSTEM account using Oracle SQL developer ( installed on the same Laptop) but now i am unable to do so.It gives me this annoying message:
An error was encountered performing the required operation Got a minus one from read call .Vendor code 0
However i am able to connect using Sql Plus by supplying the username SYSTEM and the corresponding password.
My TNSNAMES .ora file is as follows:

I am new to Oracle and so i need someone in this forum who can help me resolve this problem. Also i even tried connecting to the database using Toad 10.5.0.41. It give me the following error:
ORA 12537 : TNS Connection closed
Thanks for your patience and help in advance.

Not able to connect remote oracle database over VPN

I can not connect remote oracle database over VPN. tnsping is ok and it shows the server information of remote database. i can also telnet the 1521 port of remote database server. I can connect the same server when it is located in the same LAN. Please help me out this is very urgent.

First, this is a forum of volunteers. There is no "urgent" here.
"Urgent" means one of two things -
1) people are dying, or
2) you have a customer-facing, revenue-producing production system that is down.
(And to get some perspective on the second case, keep the first in mind.)
For the first, you call whatever civil emergency service seems appropriate.
For the second, you open an SR with Oracle - which requires a paid-up support contract. For *them* to consider your problem "urgent", you will need to demonstrate that your problem falls under item #2. I seriously doubt your problem fits that criteria.
You don't have a support contract? Now you know the exact dollar figure that your company places on the data.
That said, you need to understand a few things about your specific problem,
First, port 1521 is only used by the listener to accept a connection request. Once it gets that request (and finds that it is for a service (sid) that it knows about, it will fork a server process and tell the requesting client that it can communicate with that server process over some other port .. a randomly chosen port number in the "high" range. It could be your vpn is blocking that other port, whereas your internal firewall is not.
But this is just an educated guess since I cannot find "can not connect remote oracle database over VPN" in any error message manual. If you had mentioned the VPN along with an actual oracle error message we could be much more precise in our diagnoses and recommendations.
---- edit 22 Sep
It occurred to me that I just assumed you were using the same client machine in both cases ... a laptop that you use both at work (local network) and home (vpn). If that assumption is false, there are probably problems with your tns setup on the home (vpn) machine.
But again, it would be much easier to help if you gave us an actual error message.
