friend told me that if you can c oracle in the result,the connection is ready,but as u saw,the column of 'library used' is empty.

Have your tried using the connection?

i had tried it as below:

<?php
$conn = ocilogon('system','manager','orcl.localdomain');
echo '$conn'
?>

and the messages show:

Warning: _oci_open_server: Error while trying to retrieve text
for error ORA-12154 in /www/www/index.php on line 19.

Well, sounds like a job for Manual_man. Check out what ORA-12154 is and maybe you can fix it.
