Bona:

You're using OCIParse incorrectly. It's used to parse SQL commands. The var
statement that you quoted is a SQL*Plus command. That is, you're defining a
variable in SQL*Plus. That's why you're getting an Invalid SQL Command
error.

Use the OCIBindByName to bind a PHP variable (you're using test) to an
Oracle placeholder, which is denoted by a preceding colon.

e.g., 

$sql = "INSERT INTO emp (ename) VALUES (:ename_placeholder);";
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, $sql);

OCIBindByName($stmt,":ename_placeholder",$empno,32);

$empno = "Bona";

OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);


Please let me know if this makes sense,


Anthony Carlos
