Re: setting OCI8 env vars under NT

On 2000-08-15, Andy Hoffman stated: Hi Andy, list, } Just a thought... but this was something I discovered in my install of } php4.0.2dv, apache 1.3.12, and oracle 8.1.6 client. Oracle 8 has a new type of I forgot to mention that I'm not using 8i - I've got 8.0.5.0.0 on my NT workstation. "SERVICE_NAME" is an 8i only var, unfortunately. <the next day...> I have been able to connect, finally, using the 8i client. I had been using first the 7.3.4 client and then the 8.0.5 client with no luck. I was also able to connect to the db via SQL+ in all 3 cases, but 7.3.4 and 8.0.5 refused to connect via php4.02-dev [naap]. I'm going to write some docs on my w3 site later this week explaining how I was finally able to connect to our 7.3.4 db using the 8i client and naap's php4win distribution, and apache 1.3.12ssl on an NT4sp5 workstation. It took a lot of guess work, as most of the docs I have seen didn't help connect a non-8i client to the 7.3.4 db. [in my case, upgrading the client to 8i was the winner - my apache's httpd.conf and php.ini and test php script all remained unchanged]. Thanks for the help, Andy... /vjl/
