My question is, how do I handle the db_info.php file? I have my password stored in there as

$db_pwd = "something"

    Make sure your username is correct. If it’s a variable in db_info.php, the code below is wrong:

    $conn = oci_connect('username', $db_pwd, '(DESCRIPT...

    if it’s a variable it should be:

    $conn = oci_connect($username, $db_pwd, '(DESCRIPT...

    Also, are you sure you’re using an Oracle database? (Sorry, had to ask) 🙂

    EDIT:

    Looking at this again, it looks like you have a simple typo. Try this:

    include("../db_info.php");

    You had an extra . in there.
