I am kinda novice in all 3 technologies (Oracle, PHP, Apache). Please help me.

My objective:
1. Want to do Oracle/ PHP programming. Display/transfer data from/to oracle to browser screens using PHP
2. This I want to do this only on one machine (my laptop) - not on networked machines.

My machine :
Win 7 64 bit Home Premium. Apache is running good. PHP5.3.8 running good.
Oracle 11g R2 installed. Able to connect to Sys, system, scott etc in windows console,
also through SQL developer. Could create my own tables and insert data.

But could not access oracle home page //localhost:1521/ so far.
on accesing //127.0.0.1/ - only phpinfo page displayed (no oracle homepage)



My questions -
Do I need to download 'Oracle Enterprise Manager' to do this? (becoz, I was trying //localhost:1521/em - but no success)
Do I have to configure 'userdir' in httpd.conf? I could not do this (most info on the web is for unix)
Do I need to download 'Oracle Instant Client' ?
Do I need php_oci8.dll? I don't have this file in my php\ext directory.

More info:
I checked in the console window and registry:

There is no 'dbconsole' service in the list of services. Is this ok? I have 4 oracle services - VSS, JobScheduler, MTSReco, home_1ClrAgent, OracleORCL; all started and running

oracle_home = C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 (it is there in registry)
oracle_unqname=orcl (it is there in registry)

When I tried 'emtcl status dbconsole' I get the follwing:

/OC4J_DBConsole_190.213.227.135_orcl not found.
=========================================

What I have to do to see the a PHP script connected to Oracle DB?
What I have to do to see home page //localhost:1521/em ?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Unfortunately, I can't help much. However, note that Oracle was never certified with any MS Windows Home edition, so the fact that you installed Oracle onto your computer and use it "successfully" doesn't have to entirely true. It might work, or might not, it is difficult to tell. There might be an easy solution to your problem(s); hopefully, someone who knows the answer will stop by. In the meantime, consider switching to a supported (certified) combination of Oracle and operating system.

Hi LittleFoot: Thanks for your time and response. And please accept my ignorance on the aspect of using 'HOME' edition. While I await responses from others, can advise me - what is the best combination (with 11g R2). In fact I am thinking of using express edition - where total installation time is much less. I mean - XE+Zend Core (for oracle+php). Please let me know what you think. Thanks again...

You should upgrade Windows version (from "Home" to something else).

I use 11g XE on MS Windows 7 Enterprise Edition (wouldn't know anything about PHP).
