Re: oci8

Hi Fred, pecl-dev@lists.php.net is a development mail list. The best place to post to is php-db@lists.php.net. I'm ccing that list: please remove pecl-dev from any followup mail. Fred Silsbee wrote:

I know on Redhat EL you need the php-pear and php-devel RPMs to get pecl, pear and phpize.

the README says to run ,/configure but there is only config.m4 and config.w32

phpize creates configure.

I am trying to get a PHP connection to Oracle 11g1 <?php

        if ($c = oci_connect('hr','hr','//localhost/lmkiiiGDNSID')) {

                echo "Successfully connected to Oracle.\n";

                OCILogoff($c);

        } else {

                $err = OCIError();

                echo "Oracle Connect Error " . $errtext;

        }

?> I get no errors just doesn't work!

Given the previous build failures it's unlikely this code will run. If you haven't set display_errors to On in php.ini you won't see any automatic PHP errors. Also, your error printing code should look like: echo "Oracle Connect Error " . $err['message]'; For information on OCI8 there are a number of books available, including my free PDF book at http://tinyurl.com/f8jad. (A new version of this book should be out in the next week or so: I've just finished my edits on it.)
