There is a "php_pdo_oci.dll" in the "ext"-subdirectory. I have not installed third party drivers. This was not necessary for the other DB-Systems (mysql & postgre) either. For Microsoft SQL Server I had to download the driver manually from microsoft and after putting the dll into the ext-path and registering it within the php.ini everything worked fine. Just the (prepackaged) oracle driver doesn't want to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-05-27 10:29:34] cmb@php.net Do you have the appropriate OCI.DLL in your path? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-05-27 10:05:35] berger at gmx dot de Description: ------------ Cannot get the oracle driver working with php (7.1 & 7.3.7-dev). DSN-String is: oci://hostname:port/dbname Error message is: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver in ... Line "extension=php_pdo_oci.dll" is activated in php.ini phpinfo() shows: PDO drivers mysql, pgsql, sqlsrv Test script: --------------- Uncomment line "extension=php_pdo_oci.dll" in php.ini Then run phpinfo() and go to "PDO"-Section. Expected result: ---------------- PDO OCI (Oracle) Driver active and running Actual result: -------------- PDO OCI (Oracle) Driver not loaded and running ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78074&edit=1
