Given the previous build failures it's unlikely this code will run. If you haven't set display_errors to On in php.ini you won't see any automatic PHP errors. Also, your error printing code should look like: echo "Oracle Connect Error " . $err['message]'; For information on OCI8 there are a number of books available, including my free PDF book at http://tinyurl.com/f8jad. (A new version of this book should be out in the next week or so: I've just finished my edits on it.)
