First, where did you get the php_oci8.dll version you are using... one thing you HAVE to remember with extensions and PHP, you can't just use the same extensions from version to version. Example, if you try to use a php_oci8.dll compiled for 4.0.0 with an installed php4.0.1pl2, errors will occur. PHP is very picky about compilations and matching extension sets. The only way to reliably run a particular extension is to either 1) compile it yourself - not so easy... or 2) get a FULL SET of binaries (executables, necessary extensions, inis, etc) compiled together from someone else. Many of us on the list are using the compiled versions from NAPP (not-another-php-portal) http://www.php4win.de/ Try their bins/extensions and see what you get :) -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
