Hi I have tried adding the following line to my php page. This causes the php page to fail. putenv("NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1"); I have tried adding $oci=oci_pconnect($user, $pass, $db,'WE8ISO8859P1'); I don't believe the error is due to character sets. I believe it is a problem with binding parameter to oracle procedures in php. If I remove the binding the procedure works. If I add it it fails. Any ideas David -----Original Message----- From: Roberto Mansfield [mailto:robertom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 26 June 2007 16:09 To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Error This could be a problem with your ORACLE_HOME and/or NLS_LANG environment variables. These need to be set for your user account running the web server BEFORE the web server is started. Don't try to set these in your php script or you'll get strange results.
