Thanks, I found out that the TNS name in ADODB is wrong. After I fixed it, the error gone.

I noticed the message "Error while trying to retrieve text". This means that your ORACLE_HOME is not set properly somewhere, and after the ORA-12538 occurs Oracle can't look up actual text for it. Other, more important things are likely to fail if the environment is not set properly. There's a note about the environment variables and Apache in the Oracle/PHP troubleshooting FAQ: http://otn.oracle.com/tech/opensource/php/php_troubleshooting_faq.html#envva rs It might give some background that applies to IIS too. As to why the ORA error occurs - I'm not sure yet. I've seen ORA-12538 with ADOdb 4.10 in scripts that work with ADOdb 3.60.
