Re: How to connect and select data from Oracle 8 Database

I suggest you to avoid using php_oracle.dll. With php_oci.dll, you can access both oracle 7 and oracle 8 databases. > It had error "Unable to load dynamic libaray - > 'C:\php\extensions\php_oracle.dll' - The specified module could not be > found". When I tried another DLL php_oci8.dll. I also met that erro. > > In fact those files DLL are already existed. I don't know why. You have to uncomment php_oci.dll in php.ini if you are on windows > Maybe it needs some configurations but I don't know how to configure. the "oracle client" is needed : your dba should be able to help you to install it. You can download it from www.oracle.com. See http://www.thickbook.com/extra/php_oracle.phtml for a simple tutorial Regards, Philippe
