What I do: I am making a website in PHP, I want to use Oracle as a database (do not ask why ... Why not?)
Question: What do I need to do, install, configure, so that I can call methods from PL / SQL from PHP and access the database? The simplest words, please!
What did you do:
1) Download and install Oracle DataBase 12c 
2) I downloaded OpenServer 5.2.8, set Apache 2.2 + PHP 5.3 in the settings (why so? I saw some instructions)
3) Install the Instant Client, but it is written everywhere that it is not needed for a local connection (I have a base server on 1 computer)
As a result, I caught errors:
- 1) ORA-12541: TNS: no listener error
- 2) Call to undefined function oci_connect ()
- 3) Then the base stopped running
Can anyone have a tutorial on how to do everything right ... I suffer for 3 days
