the last problem (whew!): you mentioned this-> THANKS

$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'insert into log_book values ( TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/YYYY'),'B-17','N5787G',1,1.8)');

should be changed to :

$stid = oci_parse($conn, "insert into log_book values ( TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/YYYY'),'B-17','N5787G',1,1.8)");

in other places this makes no difference
