I had the need to connect to a Oracle Database from a PHP script in one of my recent projects, the following is what I did to enable Oracle connectivity in XAMPP for Windows.ġ. PHP has got the OCI8 extension, which provides Oracle connectivity to PHP application, and OCI8 uses Oracle Instant Client Package to get Oracle specific functions. This can be enabled easily when you need to connect to a Oracle Database from your PHP application/script. Because with the default installation of XAMPP for Windows, we don’t get PHP Oracle connectivity enabled.

If you want to connect with Oracle database using PHP script you will have to do some effort.
