Oracle Example
Prerequisites:

You need to know the values of the following environment variables:

ORACLE_HOME
This is the path to your Oracle installation directory. It is usually defined in the UNIX login script of your oracle user and all Oracle client users.

ORACLE_SID
This is the name of the database instance you want to connect to. It is also defined in the UNIX environment of your oracle user and all Oracle client users.

Find out the values of these variables by loggin in as a user who can connect to the database in question with sqlplus. Then type at your Unix shell prompt:

prompt> echo $ORACLE_HOME
/opt/oracle/oracle/8.0.3
prompt> echo $ORACLE_SID
ORACLE

A simple PHP script using ora_* functions

<?php
putenv("ORACLE_SID=ORACLE");
putenv("ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/oracle/8.0.3");

 $conn = ora_login("scott", "tiger");
 $curs = ora_open($conn);

 ora_commitoff($conn);

 $query = sprintf(&quotselect * from cat");

/* Long version */
/*
 ora_parse($curs, $query);
 ora_exec($curs);
ora_fetch($curs);
*/
/* Short Version */
 ora_do($conn, $query);

 $ncols = ora_numcols($curs);
 $nrows = ora_numrows($curs);
 printf("Result size is $ncols cols by $nrows rows.
");

 for ($i=0; $i<$ncols; $i++) {
 printf("col[%s] = %s type[%d] = %s
",
     $i, ora_columnname($curs, $i),
     $i, ora_columntype($curs, $i));
}

 for ($j=0; $j<$nrows; $j++) {
   for ($i=0; $i<$ncols; $i++) {
     $col = ora_getcolumn($curs, $i);
    printf(&quotval[%d, %d] = %s * ", $j, $i, ora_getcolumn($curs, $i);
   }
   printf("
");
 }

Using "@dbname" in ora_logon/ora_plogon will force a SQL*Net connect, even if the database is on the local host.  It's more efficient to use the ORACLE_SID environment variable.

<PRE>
putenv( "ORACLE_SID=dbname" );
$handle = ora_plogon( "SCOTT", "TIGER");

The real name for Ora_FecthInto is Ora_Fetch_Into.

In some situations the way, Kristian K�hntop describes a connection to oracle, dosn't work (in my situation for example): The Server becomes a <B>zombie</B> and any ORACLE connection dosn't work. I have heard about many other complaints about this. Currently I'm using Apache SSL 1.3.4 with PHP 3.0.6-Module. At startup of apache, I first <B>export the $ORACLE_HOME</B> etc. variables.


The solution was, that I  <B>DON'T SET THE ENVORNMENT VARIABLES</B>!


With this it works until now.

<H2>Attention to ora_numrows()</H2>

This function dosn't work as expected (e.g. will return 0 every time). The result of a thread was, that oracle has no such function built in.


But for web applicatin programming you need this.


A good supplement is to use COUNT(*):

<PRE>
If your query is:

   SELECT * FROM hugo WHERE bla='schlonz'

then the number of rows is

    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM hugo WHERE bla='schlonz'
</PRE>

This functionality will be built in in the next version of <A HREF=">PHPLIB</A>.

If you ever come accross trying to store non ASCII characters over PHP, ORACLE will probably not store thos characters properly, allthough you've set NLS_LANG and ORA_NLS33 in the Oracle User's ENV. the trick is to set these environment at Apaches' Startup. putenv and getenv didn't help at all. ) i meant apache's init script of course, provided you've got a SYS V style UNIX.

ora_numrows($cursor) only works when there's  an ora_fetch before. it will return the number of rows resulting from the query.
w dot hartley at qut dot edu dot au

<pre>
Since ora_numrows always will return a 0,
The code above could be written as follows;

By saying while ora_fetch do, the fetch will keep                                         grabbing eah consecutive row until false.

Doing a COUNT(*) is poor coding.

&lt;?

putenv("ORACLE_SID=ORACLE");
putenv("ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/oracle/8.0.3");

$conn =  ora_logon("scott", "tiger");
$curs = ora_open($conn);

ora_commitoff($conn);

$query = sprintf("select * from cat");

ora_parse($curs, $query);
ora_exec($curs);
$ncols = ora_numcols($curs);

while (ora_fetch($curs))
{
 for ($i=0; $i<$ncols; $i++)
 {
  printf("%s = %s", ora_columnname($curs,$i), ora_getcolumn($curs,$i));
   printf("
");
 }
}

ora_close($curs);
ora_logoff($conn);

?>

Actually, [email protected] was CLOSE - the ora_fetch() issued early on doesn't allow the data to be displayed on the page.  This do loop would work a little better...

<%

putenv("ORACLE_SID=D704");

putenv("ORACLE_HOME=C:\ORANT");

$conn = ora_plogon("test", "test");

$curs = ora_open($conn);

ora_commitoff($conn);

$query = "select code,descr,to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
sysdate_x from simplicities";

/* Long version */

ora_parse($curs, $query);

ora_exec($curs);

ora_fetch($curs);



$ncols = ora_numcols($curs);

$nrows = ora_numrows($curs);

printf("Result size is $ncols cols by $nrows rows.
");

for ($i=0; $i<$ncols; $i++) {

printf("col[%s] = %s type[%d] = %s
",

$i, ora_columnname($curs, $i),

$i, ora_columntype($curs, $i));

}

%>

<%

/* remember, we already fetched the first row to get column metrics */

do {

for ($i=0; $i<$ncols; $i++) {

printf("%s = %s", ora_columnname($curs,$i), ora_getcolumn($curs,$ i));

printf("
");

}

printf("

} while (ora_fetch($curs)) ;

...and with the dawning of the new year, my TNS problem is gone. I've been having trouble connecting to a remote db server from Linux running Apache/PHP+Oracle. I'd set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID (although, I'm not sure if it cares about the SID when connecting via SQL*Net/Net8) with no luck. The environment variable that does the trick is TNS_ADMIN. (I saw a mention of this on phpbuilder and thought I'd mention it here)

Set TNS_ADMIN to the directory with your tnsnames.ora file and see if that dosen't help the TNS unable to connect problems


setenv("TNS_ADMIN=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.5/network/admin");



... does the trick for me.

ORA 73 works and 80 doesn't...
(dunno why) so here it is:

I am also about to start using PHP 3.x.x on Oracle 8.1.  I believe the call ora_parse(<cursor>,<sql_stmt_block>[,<defer>]) should enable you to call native functions in oracle including Stored Procedures.

I contribute the following code example.

<PRE>
function GetNameFromUserId ($ID, &$User, &$Msg)
{
print('
GetNameFromUserId Start');

 if ($Session = ora_plogon('Hello', 'World'))
  {
   print('
Session: ' . $Session . '
');

   if ($Cursor = ora_open($Session))
  {
     print('
Cursor: ' . $Cursor . '
');

     $SQL = 'SELECT NAME FROM PERSONS WHERE USERID = \''
            . $ID . '\'';
     print('
SQL: ' . $SQL . '
');

     // Prepare SQL statement
     if (ora_parse($Cursor, $SQL))
      {
       if (ora_exec($Cursor))
        {
         $Row[] = '';

         // Retrieve a complete row from the result set
        if (ora_fetch_into($Cursor, &$Row))
          {
          $User = 'count = ' . count($Row) . ': ';

           while (list($Key, $Value) = each($Row))
            {
            $User .= '
Row[' . $Key . '] = ' . $Value;
            }

          $Result = 0;
          }
         else
          {
           $Msg = ora_error($Cursor);
           $Result = ora_errorcode($Cursor);
          }   // end of if expression

Connecting to remote oracle database -

Is the same as a local database, but the remote database must be configured in your tnsnames.ora - its then provided to PHP by way of tns...

                                   hi everybody,

                                   i find somesolutions for oracle php connectivity
                                   follow the belove steps:

                                   Note:my server is Redhat6.0/Oracle8.1.5/Php4-beta/Apache.12 etc

                                  1)run dbstart

                                 now one imp thing is other group or server cant access
                                  data so its access problem

                                  so put this line in to your script:

                                  PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=<your oracle sid"); PutEnv("ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.5");

                                 Now check it out its working or not:

                                   if not put also this 2 line in code and check it.
                                  PutEnv("TNS_ADMIN=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.5/network/admin");


                                   Now here is my tnsnames.ora file pls check it out
                                  docs which is inside yout $ORACLE_HOME/network/Doc pls read all information from all file here u find some good
                                  information.

                                  Here is my tnsnames.ora and sql.ora files

Here is a code sample that I used on NT 4.0 running Apache/Oracle 8.1.6/PHP 4.0 : I used it to connect to the sample scott-tiger schema EMP table. It is pretty much a hack, but I hope it helps you.

&lt;?php

putenv('ORACLE_SID=DMEARLS.WORLD');

     $connection = OCILogon("scott","tiger","dmearls.world")
             or die("Couldn't logon to database.");

      $sql_statement = OCIParse($connection,$sql)
              or die("Couldn't parse statement.");
echo $sql_statement;
      // execute SQL query
      OCIExecute($sql_statement)
              or die("Couldn't execute statement.");

      // get number of columns for use later
      $num_columns = OCINumCols($sql_statement);

If you use Oracle and PHP on the same computer, you can start only "dbstart" for runing PHP with Oracle and don't start "lsnrctl" maybe for security reason.

Usefull system table: all_tab_comments

It shows all tables/views that you can read, including a lot of other usefull system tables like user_objects, user_tab_columns, user_constraints.

The following function returns more detailed information about the columns of a table. It returns an array of hashes, with columnname, type, size, precision, scale, nullable, comments and constraints.

function columninfo($cursor, $table) {
$query  = "SELECT";
$query .= " user_tab_columns.column_name,";
$query .= " user_tab_columns.data_type,";
$query .= " user_tab_columns.data_length,";
$query .= " user_tab_columns.data_precision,";
$query .= " user_tab_columns.data_scale,";
$query .= " user_tab_columns.nullable,";
$query .= " user_col_comments.comments,";
$query .= " (SELECT";
$query .= "     constraint_name";
$query .= "    FROM user_cons_columns";
$query .= "    WHERE column_name = user_tab_columns.column_name)";
$query .= " FROM user_tab_columns,";
$query .= " user_col_comments";
$query .= " WHERE user_tab_columns.table_name = '$table'";
$query .= " AND user_tab_columns.column_name = user_col_comments.column_name";
$query .= " ORDER BY user_tab_columns.column_id ASC NULLS FIRST";
ora_parse($cursor, $query) or die("<hr /><h2 style=\"color:#ff0000\">" . ora_error($cursor) . "</h2><tt>$query</tt>");
ora_exec($cursor) or die("<hr /><h2 style=\"color:#ff0000\">" . ora_error($cursor) . "</h2><tt>$query</tt>");
$ret_array = array();
while (ora_fetch($cursor)) {
$column_name = strtolower(ora_getcolumn($cursor, 0));
$data_type = ora_getcolumn($cursor, 1);
$data_length = ora_getcolumn($cursor, 2);
$data_precision = ora_getcolumn($cursor, 3);
$data_scale = ora_getcolumn($cursor, 4);
$nullable = ora_getcolumn($cursor, 5);
$nullable = ($nullable == "Y");
$comments = ora_getcolumn($cursor, 6);
$constraint_name = strtolower(ora_getcolumn($cursor, 7));
if ($data_precision) {
$data_length = $data_precision + (($data_scale) ? 1 : 0);
}
$ret_array[] = array(
"column_name" => $column_name,
"data_type" => $data_type,
"data_length" => $data_length,
"data_precision" => $data_precision,

A simple function

# list query in array
#
# $conn: connection
# $query: query_string
#
# return: $templist[$row][$column]=$value;

function get_query($conn,$query){
$cursor = ora_open($conn);
ora_parse($cursor, $query) or die;
ora_exec($cursor);
$numcols = ora_numcols($cursor);
$i=0;
while(ora_fetch($cursor)){
for($column=0; $column < $numcols; $column++){
  $colname = trim(ora_columnname($cursor, $column));
  $data = trim(ora_getcolumn($cursor, $column));

  $templist[$i][$colname]=$data;
 }
 $i++;
}
return $templist;
}

i.e.:

$conn = ora_plogon( "user", "passwd")or die;

$cursor = ora_open($conn);

ora_commitoff($conn);

$query = "SELECT * FROM table";

$result=get_query($conn,$query);

for($i=0;$result[$i];$i++){
echo $result[$i][column];
}

A clean install of oracle and php works fine but an install on clients system that has multiple instances of oracle, plenty of other software and PHP can not connect to the DB.

<b>Warning</b>:  Oracle: Connection Failed: ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect
to destination
in <b>c:\inetpubvirtual\wwwroot\test.php</b> on line <b>22</b>

Cannot connect to The database.

putenv("ORACLE_HOME=d:/oracle/ora81");
putenv("ORACLE_SID=TESTORA");

Line 22:
$conn = ora_logon("internal","oracle");
also tried $conn = ora_logon("internal@TESTORA","oracle");

This is on Windows NT 4.0 server with oracle 8.1.5 i

Comments on this issure are welcome

Environment:
    WinNT 4.0 SP5
    Oracle8i (NOT on the web server)
    Apache 1.3.27
    PHP 4.3.1 (Manual Install - CGI)
   
I followed the directions closely on the manual installation, but it did not work for me.  PHP worked in general, but the Oracle functions only worked after I moved all the dll files to the same directory as the Apache executable.  The php.ini file was in C:\winnt as directed.

I tried putting the dlls in %SYSTEMROOT% (C:\winnt\system32) but this failed miserably.  I also tried winnt\system and winnt.  The only thing that worked for me was to finally put them in the Apache folder.  Hope that helps.

BTW...I checked the extensions_dir and all other parameters over and over...they are all correct.

Ok. Considering it took me about three hours to find the answer to this:

Running a stored procedure in Oracle 8i + PHP4 (explicitly).

$sql = "begin procedure_name($required_variables_string); end;";

... execute code here...

but your string should look like what is given above.
For example, if I was going to execute the following:
$sql = "SELECT * from some_table"; looks like straight SQL, vs the one above which looks more like a PL/SQL block.

A bit gay in my opinion, but this is my 2c for those who might need to know how to execute a stored procedure using PHP.

add a note
