Re: php3 and oracle9i client libraries doesn't compile..

Hi Martin, It's a legacy application that is huge and sprawling and teh programmers who developed it left along time ago , apparently. It would probably be easier to write a whole new application then convert it to php 4 or 5 and thankfully thats not what I've been asked to do. psa - thanks for that!! would that be part of an oracle library? thanks, neil >From: Martin Norland <martin.norland@stjude.org> >Reply-To: php-db@lists.php.net >To: php-db@lists.php.net >Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] php3 and oracle9i client libraries doesn't compile.. >Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 09:31:33 -0500 > >neil smith wrote: >>I'm using this command to configure php3 >>./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs >>--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/lib --enable-versioning >>--enable-track-vars --with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.4 >>--with-oracle=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.4 --enable-sigchild >> >>that works ok.
