Hi every1,

I am new to the forums, and i really need help here basically i keep getting the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_connect() in C:\wamp\www\film_explosion\include\db_connection.php on line 6

I have checked the file and there is nothing wrong as you can see:

<?php
session_start();

//if ($conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger', 'Development'))
//For Localhost with local oracle db
if ($conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger', '//localhost/xe'))
{
//print 'Successfully connected to Oracle Database!';
}
else
{
$errmsg = oci_error();
print 'Oracle connection failed, Please check username, password and service name in oci_connect: ' . $errmsg['message'];
}
?>


Also i have made the neccessary changes in the php.ini files to communicate with oracle etc. I just dont understand this error it appears to not to under the "oci_connect()" function this is really strange.

Can anybody help me please?


Thanks all.

As long as everyone disregards the actual ERROR

I suspect the problem involves the (ab)use of localhost.

It might help if you posted both listener.ora & tnsnames.ora files.
