Re: OIC8 and connecting to a remote machine

Chuck- The Oracle libraries come with the Oracle installation, they are not part of PHP (source). PHP links to the libraries upon compile. You need Oracle for Linux to install Oracle client on your web server. Also, beware of the Oracle pricing model which requires you to license any Oracle DB for the web according to a UPU (universal power unit). The faster your server, the more you will pay.

I want to run a PHP page that has in it $db = ori_logon ("user@motesheen", "pw"); That gets me "undefined function" [ I did the php phpinfo() - not there ] Ok, I'm told download the L&G PHP and reconfigure --with_oci8 ..... and recompile That gets me "Oracle-OCI8 needed libraries not found" I don't have Oracle for Linux - and can't find the "needed libs" So my question is - Where can I get these "needed libs"?
