PHP runs in the sandbox of the HTTP apache server, but I don't think
it inherits all of its Env variables...
At any rate, the answer you probably want is:
<?php setEnv('ORACLE_HOME', '/whatever/your/oracle/home/dir/is');?>
NOTE:
I began as "the answer guy" on this mailing list back when I realized
that the dude answering this same dang ORACLE_HOME question every week
was the same dude that could be fixing/adding PHP code to make PHP
better (Rasmus Lerdorf) instead of answering this same question every
week.
Back then, I had no idea what this setEnv thingie did, or what
ORACLE_HOME was all about -- I just parrotted back the answer, as it
hadn't changed in 6 months. :-)
Thank you for this nostalgic reminder of how I became arguably
"famous" in PHP. :-)
I'm also betting that you could find this answer in the mailing list
archives, the PHP FAQ and at http://php.net/oci
Just guessing.
