You will need the php4 version of this dll, compiled with a specific release of php4. Currently, a great working set of binaries and extensions is available at php4win.de (quickly becoming the most popular place for phpwin32 binaries). The latest release bins (php4.0.2) include tons of extensions including php_oci8.dll (the oracle 8i extension for php4). Note: YOU MUST INSTALL FULL PHP FROM THIS RELEASE - don't just copy the php_oci8.dll from the zip into your existing extensions folder - it won't work. These files are very specific to compilations of specific source code, so you need a matching set of binaries in order for things to work. Also, before you try installing anything else, make sure you have installed the latest Oracle 8.1.6 client software. This is also necessary for getting the php_oci8.dll extension working properly. Older Oracle clients won't work. -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
