Testing Apache and PHP with Oracle
1. Check the PHP options: Create a file "phpinfo.php" with the
following code.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Open this file in your default web browser. e.g.
http://localhost/phpinfo.php
This page will display all the options that PHP has been configured with.
2. Test the Oracle and PHP connectivity: Create a file called "oratest.php"
with the following code.
<?php
if ($conn=OCILogon("scott", "tiger", "orcl")) {
echo "Successfully connected to Oracle using OCI extension.\n";
OCILogoff($conn);
} else {
$err = OCIError();
echo "Error in connecting to the Oracle." . $err[text];
}
?>
