Oracle with php

i am new to oracle and i want to know how would i access (read / write) to a oracle database using php.
if someone can point me into the direction to look.
thanks

before you get your feet wet with using oci functions in PHP, run a script with just one line :-
<?phpinfo()?>
save it as, say TEST.PHP and then view it in your browser. this generates a page, which lists out all the compiled environments. if you dont see a section called OCI8, then i guess you havent compiled your PHP properly.
cheerio!! Hi
I did that and everything is ok. I get php infos and oci8 is well installed.
But, when i try to connect (oracle 8.0.5), like this :
$connection = OCILogon ("scott","tiger");
I get : "Warning: _oci_open_server. Error while trying to retrieve
text for error ORA-12546 in /var/www/..."
I tried too with :
$connection = OCILogon ("scott","tiger","ora8");
In this case, i get an error ORA-12154.
My tnsnames.ora is ok (i can connect from sqlplus without problems.
I tried to add to my script instructions done for inializing the environnement (with "putenv") for the main oracle variables necessary to connect (ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN, etc).
I don't see anything else.
Does anybody know this problem? Or (better) could help?
Thanks

Connecting oracle with php

hi all,
i am using Xammp 1.7.4, PHP version 5.3.5, apache 2.2, and oracle 11g. actually i know how to connect MySql using php, but now i am trying to connect oracle using php. Can any 1 tell me the clear cut steps to do the same ?

You need to add the right oci8 DLL or .so to php.ini and make sure it has access to Oracle client libraries. These Oracle libraries are from an Oracle Home or Oracle Instant Client.
Without knowing your platform and whether the Oracle DB is on the same machine as Xampp the best place to start is to look at

Orale9i with php connectivity

Hi,
I'll be very thankful, if anyone can tell me solution for my problem.
i've instaled personnel oralce9i on Linux with Apache Webserver and trying to connect to oracle with PHP scripting, its not tallking to oracle database and givin the error called "FATAL ERROR CALLED TO UNDEFINED Function OCILogon()." this function is required to connect to oralce database. installation of Apache server and configuration is also correct.
i'm bugged up with the error and not able to findout the solution for that.
if any one can write me the solution, i'll be thankful,
mail to [email protected]
thanks

You should compile php with oci support; I did it with:
% cd ../php-x.x.x
% ./configure \
--with-oci8=/oracle/product/8.1.7
% make
% make install
Good luck!!
(php apache oracle works great!!)

Is it possible to work with PHP pages in Oracle ERP R12 and how to set up ?

Hi,
Is it possible to work with PHP pages in Oracle ERP R12 and how to set up ?
Regards
Nandhakumar P

Hi Nandhakumar,
To be able to access any Oracle database using PHP you require the following:
A server with Apache 2+ (Unix, windows etc)
PHP enabled using OCI8
tnsnames.ora
Oracle instant client and associated libraries
This gives you direct access into oracle database. As for E-Business, you will compromise the security and safty of of R12 by going in through php. Oracle is not likely to support it either.
I have got a apache/php/Oracle XE working on a test environment and Ithe performance is not a big issue. If you must I would hughly recommend Oracle Linux for quality and security.

Using the Auth pear package with php 4 and oracle

Hi all.
I was wondering if anybody out there has had any success (or else) using the Auth Pear package with php 4 and Oracle.
I'm trying to do just that but can't get it to work.
I've found lots of examples on the web for mysql but none for oracle...
Feedback on your experiences with this would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Hi cj.
Thanks for your advice. I came across those documents but discarded them as they didn't deal with the Auth pear package I was intending on using. I didn't want to look at other alternatives as the focus of my project was primarily on migrating existing data from a mysql setup to an oracle setup. And quickly.
I hadn't found any documentation out there on using Auth with Oracle. All examples available on the web were mysql specific.
I eventually got round to gutting the code from the package and finding the fix to my problem.
Just for info, Auth expects by default an auth table containing two fields username and password. That's lowercase table and field names.
If the table name or field names to be used differ from these then they must be explicitly defined when calling Auth. Doing so resolved my problem.
My mysql db had all lowercase naming, while my oracle db has all uppercase naming throughout.
It is important to note that the Auth package uses the table and field names quoted, thus referring to the table and fields in a case sensitive way.
So for an uppercase table and fields setup the call has to be :
$options = array(
    'dsn' => "$dsn_for_my_oracledb",
    'table' => 'AUTH',
    'usernamecol' => 'USERNAME',
    'passwordcol' => 'PASSWORD',
    'db_fields' => '*',
$a = new Auth("DB", $options , "loginFunction");I hope this helps anybody trying to use this package with oracle. It worked great for me.
Pear Auth package documentation:

A difficult problem with php code and sql code

it's good place to visit(Paged Result Sets with PHP and Oracle)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/oracle_php_cookbook/fuecks_paged.html
maybe below part php code could not be used in above address's php code.
if((isset($l_company) and $l_company != $rows['COMPANY']) or empty($stmt) and empty($total_pages) ) {
echo "<tr bgcolor='#CCFFCC'>";
echo "<td colspan= 3 align='center'>".$l_company."</td>";
echo "<td >".$totalcomany." </td>";
$totalcomany = 0;
echo "<td > </td>";
echo "</tr>";
$l_company = $rows['COMPANY'];
because the same company in one page could calculate sum while if
the same company in two pages could not do that.
and what do you think of ?
thanks !

Hi,
this is because your sql-statement selects only the rows, you need to build this one page.
Neither php nor the given result from your query knows about data wich will be part of the result of another page.

Oracle and php 5.4 doesn't work

Description:
I was using php 5.3 with oracle client 11g and everything works fine. I have a wep app already in production with php5.3. I tried upgrade to php5.4, so I install in another folder XAMPP 1.8 who uses php 5.4. I tried everything to make oracle works, but I cannot connect in the database. Its really strange because in the same machine with the same remote database php 5.3 works just fine.
I am using in php 5.3 o php_oci8.dll with oracle client 11g
and with php5.4 I tried use php_oci8.dll. The error is:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
after I tried php_oci8_11g.dll and the the error is:
ORA-24315: illegal attribute type
I on a Windows Vista 64bit Machine,
Both php are 32bis,
oracle client is 32bits
The database is in another machine.
I think that everything that you need to simulate the problem is install XAMPP 1.8, enable php_oci8.dll and try run the test script.
Test script:
print_r(get_loaded_extensions());
print_r(get_extension_funcs('oci8'));
echo system('env');
echo "Client Version: " . oci_client_version();
print_r(oci_pconnect(DBUSER, DBPASSWORD, DBTNS));
print_r(oci_error());
die();
Expected result:
I was expecting that the oci_pconnect works, because the same script with php 5.3, works.

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention
Adrian

Oracle and PHP - insert special characters problem

I have computer with these software:
Fedora Core 4
Apache 2.0.54
PHP 5.0.4
Oracle 10.2.0
Firefox (character set: UTF8)
System environment:
[oracle@computer /] echo $ORACLE_HOME
/db/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
[oracle@computer /] echo $NLS_LANG
SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.AL32UTF8
I get this for every user, because I have in /etc/profiles:
NLS_LANG=SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.AL32UTF8; export NLS_LANG;
ORACLE_HOME=/db/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME;
Oracle NLS parameters:
SQL> SELECT NLS_LANGUAGE, NLS_TERRITORY, NLS_CHARACTERSET FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS;
SLOVENIAN, SLOVENIA, AL32UTF8
And similar for NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS and NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS.
phpinfo() returns:
Apache Environment
Variable Value
NLS_LANG SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.AL32UTF8
In /etc/php.ini I have:
default_charset = "UTF-8"
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
SetEnv NLS_LANG SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.AL32UTF8
In my PHP script "oracle.php" (file encoding is UTF-8) I have:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" >
putenv("NLS_LANG=SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.AL32UTF8");
And then code similar to Example 2 in: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php
Problem
When I am trying with PHP insert character "" ( http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0161/index.htm ) or some other special character into Oracle table and then do SELECT from this table I get value "??" which is wrong.
There is no problem for example with char "a". There is no problem inserting data with SQLPlus or Toad for Oracle - inserted data is always correct. There is no problem for example with echo("some_special_sharacters"); in PHP. I have no problems inserting data with PHP to MySQL database.
I have read this, but problem still exists:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/pdf/globalizing_oracle_php_applications.pdf
Plese help.
Thanks!

How do you insert it? How do you select it? Where are you viewing the character? What is in the database after the INSERT?

Integrate Oracle and PHP

Im trying to access my database using PHP, the problem is that i can get the Oracle Functions (PHP) to be recognized (It sends the following statement: Undefined Functions). Probably it's because I need some Oracle Libraries, but where can i get them...or which ones do i need in order to integrate it with PHP.
I hope you can help me out :)

Probably the wrong forum but I don't know where to direct you so I'll give it a go :-)
Check out:
* http://vsbabu.org/tutorials/oraphp.html (a bit dated but the comment at the end suggests some workarounds for Oracle8i)
* For general purpose reference check out http://www.php.net and search for Oracle
The client libraries you need are SQLNet or in Oracle8i terminology Net8 and in 9i, Net9i. These are on your database CD, normally on the client CD. If you can fire up SQLPlus on the machine running PHP you pretty much will be configured ... SQLPlus comes from the client CD too.
You can download the client CD at:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/content.html
Given its size of 600M (the install is much smaller) it can be a lot easier to use an existing copy you have on site.

How to configure OCI of Oracle9i to work with PHP or ASP on IIS5

I've been trying to make OCI of Oracle9i to work with PHP for all week. I went thourgh millions of documents and forums. And I still can't make them work. Anyone, please help me.
I used to have Oracle8i on my machine and it worked fine with both PHP and ASP on IIS5. Then I decided to change to Oracle9i. So I install Oracle9i in seperate home. And they worked fine. But one day I couldn't access some of my websites via "localhost/mywebsite". And I thought there is something wrong with IIS coz I ran very huge queries. So I reinstall IIS5. Then everything crash. PHP and ASP can't work with OCI. So I uninstalled every Oracle component (database and services) and PHP out of my machine. Then I installed Oracle9i database, redownload "php-4.3.1-installer.exe" , and install PHP.
Since I can't seem to find "php_oci8.dll" in "c:\php\" after I installed, I assume that oracle9i must provide OCI and I found the file "oci.dll" in "c:\OraHome9\Bin" directory. So I changed the extension directory in php.ini to
extension_dir = "c:\OraHome9\Bin"
And it still doesn't work. I'm kinna new to ASP so I don't know how to fix this problem.
Anyone, would you please give me any suggestion how to solve this problem or where to find the solution for this problem? I'd be very appreciated.

The old php_oracle.dll (the extension named 'oracle') was long obsoleted by the newer php_oci8.dll (the extension named 'OCI8'). I would not expect your program using ora_logon() to work anymore. A function mapping between the old & new extensions is in Appendix D of the free book The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual.
The Windows DLLs available from the PHP community build OCI8 using Oracle Instant Client 10g (or 11g for the php_oci8_11g.dll). You will need to have one of these new versions on your machine and make sure that PHP and the Database uses their appropriate version of the Oracle libraries without causing name clashes. This is easier said than done on Windows.
Finally, there is no PHP version 6 available or even planned. The PHP community is currently focusing on PHP 5.4, which is Beta.
You may find it easier to install Oracle XE 11.2 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html) and use PHP with those libraries. Or install and use Linux.

Interfacing Oracle with Microsoft SQL?

Hi,
My workplace uses Microsoft SQL server and I'm trying to encourage our IT department to install 10g express so we can make use of Application Express.
One problem is that the Apex application would need to access data stored in the Microsoft SQL server (there is no chance of converting it to an Oracle database anytime soon).
Are there any popular solutions for interfacing the two databases?
We would be looking at perhaps 100-500 queries on the Microsoft database per day, nothing very demanding.
Regards,
David

hinpong:
Thank you for the suggestion, I am open to other ideas. I am not sure what other tools are out there that will meet my needs.
Our IT department has written applications with Visual Studio and Ajax but is unable to maintain or fully debug them. They are not thrilled with the prospect of me writing a program that interfaces direclty with their database but a separate database and the web-based development environment of Apex is a possibility.
We have been planning on not linking the two databases at all but if our IT department were able to handle something such as setting up a script to replicate the data on a daily basis, perhaps we could get the link regardless.
We need to retrieve a part number, given a part name, from the MSSQL database, nothing more. This would only need to be retrieved when new records are being created.
What other tools would you recommend given this scenario?
The database will have about 30 fields, less than 100 queries per day, and up to 5 new records per day. It is not very demanding at all, in my opinion, and I wouldn't have a problem even writing something with php/mysql if that were an option but it is not.

David

[SOLVED] SQLite not working with PHP

For reasons unknown, I cannot get PHP to work properly with SQLite. I have uncommented the "extension=sqlite.so" in /etc/php/php.ini, ensured that PHP's configuration was being loaded from said file, and made sure PHP was working fine with my server of choice (lighttpd). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, as evidenced by
Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlite_open() in test.php on line x
Which is what PHP spits at me. I've checked lighty's logs and nothing's wrong. PHP's set to send to syslog, so I'm not sure where I could check on that. Here is a quick look at PHP's setup.
My /etc/php/php.ini:
[PHP]
; About php.ini ;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; The path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.
; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; | bitwise OR
; & bitwise AND
; ~ bitwise NOT
; ! boolean NOT
; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:
; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none'
; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
; About this file ;
; This is the recommended, PHP 5-style version of the php.ini-dist file. It
; sets some non standard settings, that make PHP more efficient, more secure,
; and encourage cleaner coding.
; The price is that with these settings, PHP may be incompatible with some
; applications, and sometimes, more difficult to develop with. Using this
; file is warmly recommended for production sites. As all of the changes from
; the standard settings are thoroughly documented, you can go over each one,
; and decide whether you want to use it or not.
; For general information about the php.ini file, please consult the php.ini-dist
; file, included in your PHP distribution.
; This file is different from the php.ini-dist file in the fact that it features
; different values for several directives, in order to improve performance, while
; possibly breaking compatibility with the standard out-of-the-box behavior of
; PHP. Please make sure you read what's different, and modify your scripts
; accordingly, if you decide to use this file instead.
; - register_long_arrays = Off [Performance]
; Disables registration of the older (and deprecated) long predefined array
; variables ($HTTP_*_VARS). Instead, use the superglobals that were
; introduced in PHP 4.1.0
; - display_errors = Off [Security]
; With this directive set to off, errors that occur during the execution of
; scripts will no longer be displayed as a part of the script output, and thus,
; will no longer be exposed to remote users. With some errors, the error message
; content may expose information about your script, web server, or database
; server that may be exploitable for hacking. Production sites should have this
; directive set to off.
; - log_errors = On [Security]
; This directive complements the above one. Any errors that occur during the
; execution of your script will be logged (typically, to your server's error log,
; but can be configured in several ways). Along with setting display_errors to off,
; this setup gives you the ability to fully understand what may have gone wrong,
; without exposing any sensitive information to remote users.
; - output_buffering = 4096 [Performance]
; Set a 4KB output buffer. Enabling output buffering typically results in less
; writes, and sometimes less packets sent on the wire, which can often lead to
; better performance. The gain this directive actually yields greatly depends
; on which Web server you're working with, and what kind of scripts you're using.
; - register_argc_argv = Off [Performance]
; Disables registration of the somewhat redundant $argv and $argc global
; variables.
; - magic_quotes_gpc = Off [Performance]
; Input data is no longer escaped with slashes so that it can be sent into
; SQL databases without further manipulation. Instead, you should use the
; database vendor specific escape string function on each input element you
; wish to send to a database.
; - variables_order = "GPCS" [Performance]
; The environment variables are not hashed into the $_ENV. To access
; environment variables, you can use getenv() instead.
; - error_reporting = E_ALL [Code Cleanliness, Security(?)]
; By default, PHP suppresses errors of type E_NOTICE. These error messages
; are emitted for non-critical errors, but that could be a symptom of a bigger
; problem. Most notably, this will cause error messages about the use
; of uninitialized variables to be displayed.
; - allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off [Code cleanliness]
; It's not possible to decide to force a variable to be passed by reference
; when calling a function. The PHP 4 style to do this is by making the
; function require the relevant argument by reference.
; - short_open_tag = Off [Portability]
; Using short tags is discouraged when developing code meant for redistribution
; since short tags may not be supported on the target server.
; Language Options ;
; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache.

; be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code,
; be sure not to use short tags.

; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even
; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a
; bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output
; buffering functions. You can also enable output buffering for all files by
; setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer
; to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On', as
; a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096).
output_buffering = 4096
; You can redirect all of the output of your scripts to a function. For
; example, if you set output_handler to "mb_output_handler", character
; encoding will be transparently converted to the specified encoding.
; Setting any output handler automatically turns on output buffering.
; Note: People who wrote portable scripts should not depend on this ini
; directive. Instead, explicitly set the output handler using ob_start().
; Using this ini directive may cause problems unless you know what script
; is doing.
; Note: You cannot use both "mb_output_handler" with "ob_iconv_handler"
; and you cannot use both "ob_gzhandler" and "zlib.output_compression".
; Note: output_handler must be empty if this is set 'On' !!!!
; Instead you must use zlib.output_handler.
;output_handler =
; Transparent output compression using the zlib library
; Valid values for this option are 'off', 'on', or a specific buffer size
; to be used for compression (default is 4KB)
; Note: Resulting chunk size may vary due to nature of compression. PHP
; outputs chunks that are few hundreds bytes each as a result of
; compression. If you prefer a larger chunk size for better
; performance, enable output_buffering in addition.
; Note: You need to use zlib.output_handler instead of the standard
; output_handler, or otherwise the output will be corrupted.

After the last update which installed PHP 5.3.0, I'm having a similar problem. PHP fails to recognize any extensions which I've defined in php.ini. PHP itself works just fine, so I'm sure this problem is related to the update of PHP.
Here's my php.ini:
[PHP]
; About php.ini ;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; The path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.
; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; | bitwise OR
; & bitwise AND
; ~ bitwise NOT
; ! boolean NOT
; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:
; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none'
; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
; About this file ;
; This is the recommended, PHP 5-style version of the php.ini-dist file. It
; sets some non standard settings, that make PHP more efficient, more secure,
; and encourage cleaner coding.
; The price is that with these settings, PHP may be incompatible with some
; applications, and sometimes, more difficult to develop with. Using this
; file is warmly recommended for production sites. As all of the changes from
; the standard settings are thoroughly documented, you can go over each one,
; and decide whether you want to use it or not.
; For general information about the php.ini file, please consult the php.ini-dist
; file, included in your PHP distribution.
; This file is different from the php.ini-dist file in the fact that it features
; different values for several directives, in order to improve performance, while
; possibly breaking compatibility with the standard out-of-the-box behavior of
; PHP. Please make sure you read what's different, and modify your scripts
; accordingly, if you decide to use this file instead.
; - register_long_arrays = Off [Performance]
; Disables registration of the older (and deprecated) long predefined array
; variables ($HTTP_*_VARS). Instead, use the superglobals that were
; introduced in PHP 4.1.0
; - display_errors = Off [Security]
; With this directive set to off, errors that occur during the execution of
; scripts will no longer be displayed as a part of the script output, and thus,
; will no longer be exposed to remote users. With some errors, the error message
; content may expose information about your script, web server, or database
; server that may be exploitable for hacking. Production sites should have this
; directive set to off.
; - log_errors = On [Security]
; This directive complements the above one. Any errors that occur during the
; execution of your script will be logged (typically, to your server's error log,
; but can be configured in several ways). Along with setting display_errors to off,
; this setup gives you the ability to fully understand what may have gone wrong,
; without exposing any sensitive information to remote users.
; - output_buffering = 4096 [Performance]
; Set a 4KB output buffer. Enabling output buffering typically results in less
; writes, and sometimes less packets sent on the wire, which can often lead to
; better performance. The gain this directive actually yields greatly depends
; on which Web server you're working with, and what kind of scripts you're using.
; - register_argc_argv = Off [Performance]
; Disables registration of the somewhat redundant $argv and $argc global
; variables.
; - magic_quotes_gpc = Off [Performance]
; Input data is no longer escaped with slashes so that it can be sent into
; SQL databases without further manipulation. Instead, you should use the
; function addslashes() on each input element you wish to send to a database.
; - variables_order = "GPCS" [Performance]
; The environment variables are not hashed into the $_ENV. To access
; environment variables, you can use getenv() instead.
; - error_reporting = E_ALL [Code Cleanliness, Security(?)]
; By default, PHP suppresses errors of type E_NOTICE. These error messages
; are emitted for non-critical errors, but that could be a symptom of a bigger
; problem. Most notably, this will cause error messages about the use
; of uninitialized variables to be displayed.
; - allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off [Code cleanliness]
; It's not possible to decide to force a variable to be passed by reference
; when calling a function. The PHP 4 style to do this is by making the
; function require the relevant argument by reference.
; - short_open_tag = Off [Portability]
; Using short tags is discouraged when developing code meant for redistribution
; since short tags may not be supported on the target server.
; Language Options ;
; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache.
engine = On

; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even
; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a
; bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output
; buffering functions. You can also enable output buffering for all files by
; setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer
; to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On', as
; a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096).
output_buffering = Off
; You can redirect all of the output of your scripts to a function. For
; example, if you set output_handler to "mb_output_handler", character
; encoding will be transparently converted to the specified encoding.
; Setting any output handler automatically turns on output buffering.
; Note: People who wrote portable scripts should not depend on this ini
; directive. Instead, explicitly set the output handler using ob_start().
; Using this ini directive may cause problems unless you know what script
; is doing.
; Note: You cannot use both "mb_output_handler" with "ob_iconv_handler"

; Note: Resulting chunk size may vary due to nature of compression. PHP
; outputs chunks that are few hundreds bytes each as a result of
; compression. If you prefer a larger chunk size for better
; performance, enable output_buffering in addition.
; Note: You need to use zlib.output_handler instead of the standard

Need help with PHP mail script

I have created a log in system . In that when the user completes the registration process an auto reply(auto-reply@domain) will generate and sent this to users email id regarding about the user name and password (Lo gin Details). After formal approval from the admin the user will get a user activation mail with log in link.
But , my problem is these are work only for mail accounts from my domain only(test@domain). its not send any of above mentioned details to other mail services like gmail or yahoo etc.
i discussed this   with some others, they said its the problem with your mail function   configuration. but i didn't get any needful information as am a beginner in PHP scripting.
i have contacted this with my hosting service they said its the problem with php mail () function and use php mailer() instead mail().
please give me a solution for the same..
