Michael,

If you used to run it some time ago and it worked then but does not now 
then something has changed (obvious I know). Within the "something that 
has changed" is the answer, we just need to find it.

Is it the same version of Oracle and same means of getting to Oracle 
from php (I mean the non-oci8 library)? Is it that connecting to Oracle 
has simply stopped working or have you done a new installation.

I feel more information would help.

Regards

Chris
