Error when trying to connecting to an Oracle database

I am trying to use a program written in PHP but connect to an Oracle
database.

We have a function as follows:

function dbconnect($db, $username, $password)
{
global $siteadmin;
global $db;

// $bob = @mysql_connect($db, $username, $password);
//$bob= oci_connect($username, $password, $db);
// mysql_select_db($db, $bob);
$bob = oci_connect("xxxx", "zzzz", "devl");
echo $bob;
return $bob;
}

where xxxx is replaced with a username and zzzz is replaced with a
password. We get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: oci_connect() in
/www/WEBUSERS/ics2004/public_html/PHP/Project Manager/dba_copy(1).php on
line 52

Line 52 is $bob = oci_connect("xxxx", "zzzz", "devl");

Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error?

Thanks

Re: Error when trying to connecting to an Oracle database

Hi Janet,

This is a PHP 5 only function. Are you running PHP 5? If not, try using
ocilogon() instead. If you are running 5, then maybe the Oracle library
wasn't included when PHP was compiled.

HTH,
Tony
