(PHP 5, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)
oci_pconnect — Connect to an Oracle database using a persistent connection
$username
, string $password
[, string $connection_string
[, string $character_set
[, int $session_mode
]]] )Creates a persistent connection to an Oracle server and logs on.
Persistent connections are cached and re-used between requests, resulting in reduced overhead on each page load; a typical PHP application will have a single persistent connection open against an Oracle server per Apache child process (or PHP FastCGI/CGI process). See the Persistent Database Connections section for more information.
usernameThe Oracle user name.
password
The password for username.
connection_stringContains the Oracle instance to connect to. It can be an » Easy Connect string, or a Connect Name from the tnsnames.ora file, or the name of a local Oracle instance.
If not specified, PHP uses
environment variables such as TWO_TASK (on Linux)
or LOCAL (on Windows)
and ORACLE_SID to determine the
Oracle instance to connect to.
To use the Easy Connect naming method, PHP must be linked with Oracle 10g or greater Client libraries. The Easy Connect string for Oracle 10g is of the form: [//]host_name[:port][/service_name]. With Oracle 11g, the syntax is: [//]host_name[:port][/service_name][:server_type][/instance_name]. Service names can be found by running the Oracle utility lsnrctl status on the database server machine.
The tnsnames.ora file can be in the Oracle Net search path, which includes $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and /etc. Alternatively set TNS_ADMIN so that $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora is read. Make sure the web daemon has read access to the file.
character_setDetermines the character set used by the Oracle Client libraries. The character set does not need to match the character set used by the database. If it doesn't match, Oracle will do its best to convert data to and from the database character set. Depending on the character sets this may not give usable results. Conversion also adds some time overhead.
If not specified, the
Oracle Client libraries determine a character set from
the NLS_LANG environment variable.
Passing this parameter can reduce connection time.
session_modeThis
parameter is available since version PHP 5 (PECL OCI8 1.1) and accepts the
following values: OCI_DEFAULT,
OCI_SYSOPER and OCI_SYSDBA.
If either OCI_SYSOPER or
OCI_SYSDBA were specified, this function will try
to establish privileged connection using external credentials.
Privileged connections are disabled by default. To enable them you
need to set oci8.privileged_connect
to On.
PHP 5.3 (PECL OCI8 1.3.4) introduced the
OCI_CRED_EXT mode value. This tells Oracle to use
External or OS authentication, which must be configured in the
database. The OCI_CRED_EXT flag can only be used
with username of "/" and a empty password.
oci8.privileged_connect
may be On or Off.
OCI_CRED_EXT may be combined with the
OCI_SYSOPER or
OCI_SYSDBA modes.
OCI_CRED_EXT is not supported on Windows for
security reasons.
Returns a connection identifier or FALSE on error.
Exemplo #1 Basic oci_pconnect() Example using Easy Connect syntax
<?php
// Connects to the XE service (i.e. database) on the "localhost" machine
$conn = oci_pconnect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
if (!$conn) {
$e = oci_error();
trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT * FROM employees');
oci_execute($stid);
echo "<table border='1'>\n";
while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
echo "<tr>\n";
foreach ($row as $item) {
echo " <td>" . ($item !== null ? htmlentities($item, ENT_QUOTES) : " ") . "</td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
?>
See oci_connect() for further examples of parameter usage.
Nota: Starting with PHP 5.1.2 and PECL OCI8 1.1, the lifetime and maximum number of persistent Oracle connections per PHP process can be tuned by setting the following configuration values: oci8.persistent_timeout, oci8.ping_interval and oci8.max_persistent.
