Here is how I do it ...
[REF PHP PAGE]
<?php
$conn=include("conn.php");
?>
..... HTMl CODE HERE .....
<?php
$qry="SELECT lower(instance) instance FROM all_databases ORDER BY
instance";
$cursor=ora_open($conn);
ora_parse($cursor,$qry,0);
ora_exec($cursor);
while(ora_fetch($cursor)){
$instance=ora_getcolumn($cursor,0);
echo "<option value =
\"index.php?tns=".$instance."\">".$instance."\n";
}
?>
..... HTMl CODE HERE .....
[conn.php]
<?php
if ($conn=ora_logon($username."@".$tns_alias,$password)) {
$qry="select to_char(sysdate, 'Month DD, YYYY HH:MI AM')
\"SYSDATE\" from dual";
$cursor=ora_open($conn);
ora_parse($cursor,$qry,0);
ora_exec($cursor);
while(ora_fetch($cursor)){
$sysdate=ora_getcolumn($cursor,0);
}
ora_close($cursor);
return $conn;
}
else {
echo "Unable to connect to " .$_GET["tns"];
return -1;
};
?>

[PHP-DB] Re: PHP Oracle connection across page.
eventhough I've never used Oracle with PHP here is my suggestion:
create a file that will have your DB connection strings and include it in
every PHP file which uses Oracle connection.
EXAMPLE:
------------------------
[dbCon.php] file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]($o_conn_vars["username"],
$o_conn_vars["password"],
$o_conn_vars["db"]);
[myPhpFile.php]
include_once("dbCon.php");
//Write youe queries now.
