What are common issues encountered when trying to enable Oracle access for PHP?

Common issues encountered when trying to enable Oracle access for PHP include missing Oracle libraries, incorrect configuration settings, and permission issues. To solve these problems, make sure that the Oracle libraries are installed and properly configured, check the PHP configuration file for correct settings related to Oracle access, and ensure that the user running the PHP script has the necessary permissions to access Oracle databases. 

// Example PHP code snippet to enable Oracle access
$tns = "(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)))";
$conn = oci_connect('username', 'password', $tns);

if (!$conn) {
    $e = oci_error();
    trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
} else {
    echo "Connected to Oracle Database successfully";
}

// Use the $conn variable to execute queries or interact with the Oracle database
