To run an Oracle stored procedure in PHP, you can use the oci functions provided by the OCI8 extension that comes with the PHP installation. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Connect to the Oracle database:

1
2
3
4
5

$conn = oci_connect('username', 'password', 'tnsname');
if (!$conn) {
    $e = oci_error();
    trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
}

1. Prepare the stored procedure call:

1
2

$sql = 'BEGIN your_stored_procedure_name(:param1, :param2); END;';
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, $sql);

1. Bind the input parameters:

1
2
3
4

$param1 = 'value1';
$param2 = 'value2';
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':param1', $param1);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':param2', $param2);

1. Execute the stored procedure:

1

oci_execute($stmt);

1. Close the connection:

1

oci_close($conn);

Make sure to replace the placeholders in the code with your actual database credentials, stored procedure name, and input parameters. Additionally, you may need to handle any potential errors that may occur during the execution of the stored procedure.
