The parameters can be:

  • codepage=UTF8
  • conntype=default|persistent|new
  • session_mode=OCI_DEFAULT|OCI_SYSDBA|OCI_SYSOPER

conntype​

  • If conntype = default will call the oci_connect() command;
  • If conntype = new will call the oci_new_connect() command;
  • If conntype = persistent will call the oci_pconnect() command;

session_mode​

The OCI_DEFAULT, OCI_SYSDBA AND OCI_SYSOPER are the PHP Constants and they are 0, 2 and 4 respectively;
