I had the same kind of problem and my solution was to hardcode connection string into php script, something like this:

$connectstring =
"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(COMMUNITY=tcp.world)".

                "(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=myhost)(Port=1521)))".
                "(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = oracle)))";
