Started using oci_ functions in PHP. Running into the subject error.
My database file is as follows:
<?php
$conn = oci_connect("user", "pass", "LOSINGMINDHOST");
if (!$conn) {
$e = oci_error();
error_log(trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR));
}
oci_close($conn);
?>
Confirmed the above connection string is successful.
Now, in my test file, I have the following:
<?php
include("include/database.php");
$queryMain = oci_parse($conn, "select * from sometable");
oci_execute($queryMain);
?>
Using the above, here is what I am getting on screen:
Warning: oci_parse(): supplied resource is not a valid oci8 connection resource in D:\htdocs\mysite\test.php on line 4
Warning: oci_execute() expects parameter 1 to be resource, bool given in D:\htdocs\mysite\test.php on line 26
I am using PHP 7.4 on a Windows Server 2019.
I checked the php.ini file to make sure the oci8 connections are available and/or uncommented out.
What else do I need to make this work?
Immediately after you open the connection you close it again. This makes it unusable. Remove the oci_close($conn); call.
Overall, you might want to look at a different architecture, such as using classes.
