RE: [PHP] error connecting to oracle.

Hello, at Solaris and Windows NT it's first necessary to install the Oracle Client software and then to configure PHP properly the way it is documented! I've done until know only three PHP installations with Oracle support but all three installations where very simple! Remember you have to set the Oracle Environmentvariables ($ORACLE_BASE, $ORACLE_HOME, $TNS<xyz>) before starting the WEB Server or PHP! For apchache you can do this in apachectl or a subroutine you call from apachectl. In a windows environment you have to set the variables with the appropriate tools (System/Environment/Add Variables)! In my cases this was everything to do. Try your Oracle Client Installation with tnsping and sqlplus at your machine! This should work before you try to configure PHP. best regards Gerald
