Perhaps it would be easier to use bind variables instead. For example,
$empno = 1234;
$ename = "O'Reilly";
$conn = OCILogon('scott', 'tiger');
$sql = 'INSERT INTO emp (empno, ename) VALUES (:empno, :ename)';
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, $sql);
OCIBindByName(':empno', $empno, -1);
OCIBindByName(':ename', $ename, -1);
OCIExecute($stmt);
