 Not good but after it works, I can go back and correct and learn privileges!

 I rebooted and tried this again to no avail.

 I suspected a commit problem but oci_execute has commit as default!

 The table has no primary key defined since no values are unique.

 I have a similar table with a row id!


   

   
One thing that jumps out at me is the insert query.  You have:

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'insert into log_book values ( 
TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/'),'B-17','N5787G',1,1.8);');

which will probably not do what you want.  You probably mean to have the
query in double quotes and the values in single quotes.

$stid = oci_parse($conn, insert into log_book values ( 
TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/'),'B-17','N5787G',1,1.8););

Thanks! I'll try that. Something strange happened yesterday! I ran the script 
via the browser and then brought up sqldeveloper!

The table appeared NOT to be there until I closed the browser!

This is worrisome! 

Logging in via sqlplus doesn't show the table busy

I must remember the rules here to NOT top post!

Forgive me if I forget once in a while!

 a few things really
 
 I would stick the sql in a seperate variable that you can
 than echo to

 Because I think your sql string does not go across properly
 unless you
 escape the single quotes you need to send across as single
 quotes.

this is bad! good thing the script is simple

thanks for your code

I have 43 years of programming experience and you'd think I'd know better.

This is however so simple (2 lines right out of the book) I expected it to work 
right out of the book!

With this code, however, I do not even get the following:

Successfully connected to Oracle. end 

This is however a great clue!

Strange that yesterday I was running this and started sqldeveloper to find

it showing the table NOT existing!

I shut off the browser and bingo the table showed existing.

It didn't show busy...but non existent!

It happened again:

It didn't show busy...but non existent!

I shut off the browser and bingo the table showed existing.

 have:
 
 $stid = oci_parse($conn, 'insert into log_book values (
 TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/'),'B-17','N5787G',1,1.8);');
 
 which will probably not do what you want.  You probably
 mean to have the

 $stid = oci_parse($conn, insert into log_book values

   This is my first php/oci8/oracle insert! What
 could be
  simpler! HELP!
  
   In desperation, I used em to give myself every
  possible privilege !
  
   Not good but after it works, I can go back and
 correct
  and learn
   privileges!
  
   I rebooted and tried this again to no avail.
  
   I suspected a commit problem but oci_execute has
  commit as default!
  
   The table has no primary key defined since no
 values
  are unique.
  
   I have a similar table with a row id!

 this is bad! good thing the script is simple
 
 thanks for your code
 
 I have 43 years of programming experience and you'd
 think I'd know better.
 
 This is however so simple (2 lines right out of the book) I
 expected it to work right out of the book!
 
 With this code, however, I do not even get the following:
 
 Successfully connected to Oracle. end 
 
 This is however a great clue!
 
 Strange that yesterday I was running this and started
 sqldeveloper to find
 
 it showing the table NOT existing!
 
 I shut off the browser and bingo the table showed existing.
 
 It didn't show busy...but non existent!
 
 It happened again:
 
 It didn't show busy...but non existent!
 
 I shut off the browser and bingo the table showed existing.

the last problem (whew!): you mentioned this- THANKS

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'insert into log_book values ( 
TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/'),'B-17','N5787G',1,1.8)');

should be changed to :

$stid = oci_parse($conn, insert into log_book values ( 
TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/'),'B-17','N5787G',1,1.8));

in other places this makes no difference
