RE: [PHP-INST] problems with oracle

Mr. Arando: We had a great deal getting PHP and Oracle to communicate on windows 2000. There were two common problems that we found, hope they help you. when running oci logon, we were unable to get oracle to recognize the host/instance information. solution: putenv( "ORACLE_SID=projekta"); OCILogon("myuser", "mypassword"); when trying to log in to the database, we were sent to the default instance (even though we requested a specific instance). solution: we created a new log in with the default instance of that which we were trying to access.
