How to use Oracle Database in PHP (3)

Use ORA to enter data into the data table 'email_info'

When the user browses this script, a form consisting of the name and email input fields is displayed; when the user adds the data and clicks to submit, the script program will save the name and email to the 'email_info' data table.

Related PHP code:


if ($submit == "click"){
  // The submit button was clicked!
  // Get the input for fullname and email then store it in the database.
  PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=ORASID");

  $connection = Ora_Logon ("username","password");
  if ($connection == false){
    echo Ora_ErrorCode($connection).": ".Ora_Error($connection)."
";
    exit;
  }

$cursor = Ora_Open ($connection);
if ($cursor == false){
  echo Ora_ErrorCode($connection).": ".Ora_Error($connection)."
";
  exit;
}    

  $query = "insert into email_info values ('$fullname', '$email')";
  $result = Ora_Parse ($cursor, $query);
  if ($result == false){
    echo Ora_ErrorCode($cursor).": ".Ora_Error($cursor)."
";
    exit;  
  }

  $result = Ora_Exec ($cursor);
  if ($result == false){
    echo Ora_ErrorCode($cursor).": ".Ora_Error($cursor)."
";
     exit;
  }

  Ora_Commit ($connection);
  Ora_Close ($cursor);
  Ora_Logoff ($connection);
}
else{
  echo '


     <FORM action= method=post>

Please enter your name
    <INPUT name=fullname></INPUT>

Please enter the email address
    <INPUT name=email></INPUT>

    <INPUT name=submit type=submit value=click></INPUT>         

    </FORM>

     
  ';
}

?>  


By the way, this script must be saved as it is specified as a form handler in the called page.
