Re: PHP.EXE Question

On 2000-09-11, Ron Woods stated: } How do you get the php_oci and php_orcale dll files to work on a WinNT and } Netscape Server using the php as cgi? It appears the you have to run a } compile to create a binary for the Apache server. Is it the same for the } IIS and Netscape? If so, what is needed. Go grab php4.0.2 from http://www.php4win.de/ and all the oci8_ and oracle_ extensions are included and compiled for you. I'll [with Andy's help ;) ] be posting a How To for Oracle/PHP/apache users who need to figure this whole mess out. You can run php as a module or as cgi [bit more stable as cgi under win32]. You do need to add a few lines to your httpd.conf file, which would be similar to your Netscape server [you need to pass along two environmental vars to your w3 server - your $ORACLE_HOME and your $TNS_ADMIN ; once the w3 server knows about them, the oci8 extensions should work fine.
