You should really be running PHP 5.1.2+ for the newer features, which this is designed to use:
<?php
// Attempt to connect with user schema and password, then TNS alias.
if ($c = @oci_connect("php","php","xe"))
// Print successful message to web page.
echo "Successfully connected to Oracle.<br />";
// Disconnect from the database.
oci_close($c);
else
// Assign the OCI error and format double and single quotes.
$errorMessage = oci_error();
// Open HTML table.
print '<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">';
// Write array elements.
foreach ($errorMessage as $name => $value)
print '<tr><td>'.$name.'</td><td>'.$value.'</td></tr>';
// Close HTML table.
print '</table>';
?>
However, you can use the ociconnect() function alias, which was used in earlier releases. Hope this helps.
