Re: Re: Oracle 9i Support

Well, I was able to modify the main configure script and the configure.m4 script in the ext/oci8 directory to detect 9i, and doing so allowed the configure process to complete and php to compile. When I did a phpinfo() command it showed php as having oracle support, but did not list anything under the "libraries used" section. This is the same thing that would happen if I left the configure scripts unchanged and just made a symlink to libclntsh.so.9.0. phpinfo() would still say that oci8 support was there but would not list any libraries used. Also in both of these cases when I tried to use any oracle functions, (ora_logon, etc) I got an undefined function error. I don't WANT to use odbc, but if thats my only choice I guess I'll have to for awhile. -Lee "Thies C.
