I am reading everywhere that one of the ways to connect using OCI is as follows:

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');

but this is not working for me , if I use the tnsnames alias instead of hostname/servicename it works.

thanks

see a picture of my car.
It is not working for me.
Tell me how to make my car go.

No where in any documentation can I find any Oracle error code or message like "not working for me".
Above 100% devoid of any meaningful detail that could be used to provide any possible useful solution.

"localhost" is not a valid address; I bet you have not "localhost" in your tnsnames.ora; use the same values.

By the way, to be able to use the easy connect syntax, NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH line of your sqlnet.ora file must contain the EZCONNECT value.
For instance:

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(EZCONNECT,TNSNAMES)
