I am running Oracle 8.0.5 Net8 drivers on a Win95 system using Apache and PHP4.04pl1. I'm getting consistent TNS No service errors from PHP using all three methods of accessing Oracle (oracle,oci,odbc). ODBC works fine in other apps, and the SQLPlus and tnsping work fine (even when called from a passthru(), so its not environment related). I've noticed a large number of bug reports on this.. but no answers (other than modifing the ORACLE_SID, and ORACLE_HOME environment vars, and that only works if the DB is local). I'm trying to nail down how widespread this problem is... How many of you have Oracle working with PHP4? What version of the Oracle drivers? Are you accessing a local db or a remote one? Did you have to tweak any settings to make it work? Windows or Unix?
