Was told by a core developer (cant rememeber who) that Borland would probably never work, and that cygwin may work (but i never got it to..). Unfortunatly i dont have an Oracle 8 to test the oci stuff against so i really cant help, but if you are using an abstraction layer i could compile up a ORA set and test it for sometime this weekend. mn -----Original Message----- From: Andy Hoffman [mailto:andy.hoffman@bms.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 10:04 PM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] RE: compile php4 with oracle support "Nold, Mark" wrote: > PHP4 doesnt come with precompiled oracle .dll files you will need to compile > these yourself with VC++ (the ORA and OCI modules both have .dsw so it > shouldnt be a problem).

I've got another php_oci8.dll question, perhaps someone may know the answer. I don't have a copy of VC++ available, but I do have both the Borland Free C++ Compiler 5.5 and Cygwin 1.1.2. I haven't tried compiling PHP or the oracle dlls with these yet (downloaded them yesterday). Anyone know of any issues or have tried compiling with these? Anything I should worry about... I'll be compiling with COPIES of the sourcecode of course, backing up everything as I go... but as I haven't done any C work in years (since college), I'm a bit sqeemish about mucking something up. Any suggestions? -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
