If you are experiencing problems logging onto your Oracle DB, maybe a ORA-12154 error or something like that, try setting the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, TNS_ADMIN vars in your Apache config, rather than using PutEnv() inside PHP. Its because PHP/Apache needs to know these variables upon server startup, not when it serves the PHP page. Of course, this assumes you have OCI installed locally on the webserver, if you dont, no matter what variables you set and where, it just wont work. --was-- If you are experiencing problems logging onto your Oracle DB, maybe a ORA-12154 error or something like that, try setting the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, TNS_ADMIN vars in your Apache config, rather than using PutEnv() inside PHP.
