Sorry, I should have posted two messages. This example was for connecting to Oracle.
My issue seems to have been not including the connection ($conn) with the ociparse statement. I was not accustom to that with MySql.
$result = mysql_query("select * from users");
vs.
$sql = ("select * from dw_val.process_user");
$query = OCIParse ($conn, $sql);
Now I'm am connected and returning results from my query. For future reference, is this just a difference in coding style, or mysql and oci functions?
Thanks for responding.

where is the OCIParse() call at all?
