Then the Client should be complete. Then why am I getting sqlplus/php errors. Just out of curiousity what is the minimun needed to get php working. I know you need the Oracle Call Interface. Do you need the rest? I've tried different things like putenv("ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0"); putenv("ORACLE_SID=DATABASE"); putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib"); and $ora = "DATABASE.OPW.IE = (DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server.opw.ie)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = DATABASE)))"; but all with the same errors. Is there something I'm missing. fintan.
