Hi there,

After much faffing about, I have managed to get PHP working with Oracle
- kind of :)

It appears that for some reason, whenver I try to execute a select
statment that includes a column which contains text, I get a ORA-03106:
fatal two-task communication protocol error. This does not happen with
columns of numbers or dates as these work fine. The code I am using is
as follows:

<!------ Begin Code --------->

$db = "<database connection details>";
if ($ora_conn = oci_connect("Username", "Password",$db)) {
echo "<B>SUCCESS ! Connected to database<B>\n";
} else {
echo "<B>Could not connect to database<B>\n";
}

// Select Data...
$query1="SELECT LASTNAME FROM GUESTS";
$s = OCI_Parse($ora_conn, $query1);
oci_define_by_name($s, "LASTNAME", $var1);
oci_execute($s);
while (oci_fetch($s)) {
echo $var1 . "<BR>";
}

oci_close($ora_conn);

<!------ End Code --------->

Any help on this would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard
