Answer 1

It appears that copying OCI.dll from \$ORA_HOME\bin to \$ORA_HOME should sort this particular issue. There's documentation for connecting to Oracle using PHP on the PHP website. If you have further problems, feel free to leave a comment and I'll gladly help further.

Answer 2

resource oci_new_connect ( string $username , string $password [, string $connection_string [, string $character_set [, int $session_mode ]]] )

For more information you can refer this basic manual for connection http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-new-connect.php
