Re: error connecting to oracle.

When one uncomments oci8 extension in PHP.INI, then restarts apache, you get an error on Apache's start-up which will mean your dll is not forund, or there are no oci.h lib (wrong $ORACLE_HOME dir, or there is no client at all... whichever) but, if no errors on Apache start were given to you, just type: OCILogOn($schema, $pass, $listener); And you should NOT have "undefined function" error enymore. If you do - you got no client, if you don't you got things working well from the PHP-Oracle side. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net www.PHPBeginner.com // PHP for Beginners www.maxim.cx // my Home // my Wish List: ( Get me something! ) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/registry/2IXE7SMI5EDI3 Gerald Roehrbein/Pctdmn<groehrbein@bigfoot.com> wrote... : > > Hello, > > > at Solaris and Windows NT it's first necessary to install the Oracle Client > software and then to configure PHP properly the way it is documented! > I've done until know only three PHP installations with Oracle support but > all three installations where very simple! > > Remember you have to set the Oracle Environmentvariables ($ORACLE_BASE, > $ORACLE_HOME, $TNS<xyz>) before starting the WEB Server or PHP!
