If you run into any specific issues relative to installing PHP in your environment just check the OTN FAQ (part of link that David sent) and especially search the OTN Forums. I found the OTN forums regarding PHP troubleshooting to be invaluable in some cases. In particular, I HAD to set the following env variables in the Apache 2 httpd.conf file (C:\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf in my case): # Set PHP related environmental variables SetEnv ORACLE_HOME "C:/Oracle/product/10.1.0/Client_1" SetEnv TNS_ADMIN "C:/Oracle/product/10.1.0/Client_1/network/admin" SetEnv ORACLE_SID "ORCLDEV" # For PHP5 # configure the path to php.ini PHPIniDir "C:/php" Again, the TNS_ADMIN env variable was noted by several Oracle PHP guys (they were really men in this case I am not just being sexist) as having to be set even if your environment is already set via your .profile, Windows registry, etc. The other two I threw in for good measure as it was mentioned in a forum or another site, blah, blah. Please note I am running Apache 2 and PHP 5 on my Windows 2000 desktop hence the "C:/..." path. Regardless, same point was referenced with regard to PHP 5, Apache 2 (including Oracle Apache installation) running on UNIX (Solaris). Before testing/troubleshooting the Oracle database connectivity try putting a file named phpinfo.php in your default docs directory i.e. C:\Apache2\htdocs\phpinfo.php: <?php phpinfo(); ?> ...then do yea old: http://localhost:80/phpinfo.php All the above phpinfo.php script does is generate a listing of your current PHP/web server settings but it is a VERY IMPORTANT check to verify PHP 5 and Apache 2 are configured properly. If this doesn't work there is no point in spending hours trying to troubleshoot or configure the connection to Oracle, of course. Hope this helps. Thanks.
