    hi,

    i need to connect to a remote oracle database from a PHP script.
    Do i need to install any drivers or packages to connect with the remote database?

    when i use below code

    <?php
    if ($c = oci_connect("username", "passwd", "remote server IP")) {
    echo "Successfully connected to Oracle.";
    oci_close($c);
    } else {
    $err = oci_error();
    echo "Oracle Connect Error " . $err['text'];
    }
    ?>

    it gives below error
    "PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: oci_connect() "

    I'm wondering whether i need to install any drivers

    pls advice someone

    thanks
