Re: dll problems

>i downloaded the php_oci8.dll and tried to load it with my php.ini file using >the extension directive. But i always get the error message: >PHP Fatal error: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_oci8.dll'. >I get an error message for 'php_ftp.dll' and 'php_oracle.dll', too: they all rely on external dll's. oci8: have you got oracle8 installed? the needed dll's are stored in c:\oracle\ora81\bin ,or whereever you installed oracle. ftp: which version of windows are you running? actually the follwing dlls are needed in order to run it correctly: wsock32.dll <- think this one will cause the trouble try grabbing the latest one msvcrt.dll kernel32.dll >The php_oracle.dll error message is different from the others: >PHP Warning: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) .... then this one isn't compiled correct. >So, wheres the problem. Iam sure that my extension_dir is configured right and that these are valid librarys. as i said make sure the other dll's can be "seen" e.g. by puttig them in a %PATH% directory like $windir/system(32) greetings daniel
