#41676 [Csd]: PDO Startup Error

ID: 41676 User updated by: alison dot holloway at oracle dot com Reported By: alison dot holloway at oracle dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: PDO related Operating System: Windows XP SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.3 Assigned To: jmertic New Comment: I checked the latest PHP build (200707020030), and now the PDO driver for Oracle 10g and above client installs, and does not throw errors on startup. My test connection to Oracle works as well. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-29 06:12:13] alison dot holloway at oracle dot com Apart from the text change, has the .dll change been made so that both .dlls aren't installed for the different options? I will retest when the next release is made available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-28 20:12:02] sniper@php.net Assuming this is fixed now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-28 13:16:04] jmertic@php.net Checked into CVS the change for the textual description in the installer for pdo_oci8 and pdo_oci as described below. The Wix UI doesn't have a good way to make features mutually exclusive, so I've put notes in the right pane when selecting the extension to pick the right one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-28 04:44:58] alison dot holloway at oracle dot com My suggestion is to change the installer so that the following occurs. Under PDO extensions, have two options for the Oracle PDO drivers: 1. Oracle8i/Oracle9i Client This installs php_pdo_oci8.dll 2. Oracle10g Client and above This installs php_pdo_oci.dll The PDO library is based on the Oracle Client, not the Oracle Database, so I think it's important to state that in the install notes in the right hand pane when selecting the option. Each option should be mutually exclusive. So you can't install both. This will cause problems. The current two installs seem to do the same thing, install the php_pdo_oci8.dll and php_pdo_oci.dll files. It doesn't make sense. As for the errors that are currently happening, I haven't done any further investigation, but I'd suggest getting the install right now, then fixing the dll loading issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-26 11:09:44] tony2001@php.net So what do you propose, Alison? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
