Re: AW: [PHP-DB] Connection Problems with PHP4(.0.2) + OCI8 - followup

That is a tricky situation. Installing Oracle 8.1.6 client libs might really make some trouble. I tried running both on the same machiene and it smashed everything. However I am not a skilled Oracle Admin, so you might actually get it working. I believe that if you compile the OCI8 module with the Oracle 8.0.5 header files, you will probably have some more luck with CGI. I certainly understand your reservations about the ISAPI module. I have been running ISAPI since Version PHP 4.0.0 on 5 NT Servers. 4 being development and being semi production/development. And it all works pretty well. Please let me know what you find.
