I also had an issue with the tnsping command. Dr. Liu helped me to trouble shoot and found that I was calling my service Oracle when I should have been calling it XE since I'm using Express Edition. As Follows:
c:\>tnsping xe
The output from this call allowed me to redefine my $database variable in OracleStandardConnection.php as:
$database='(description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=Dave-PC)(port=1521))(connect_data=(server=dedicated)(service_name=xe)))';
And I'm now connecting to my database.
Dr. Liu, thank you for your help and time today!
Thanks
Dave
