Re: Problem with Oracle and some other extensions on IIS Server

Hi again, I did request for oracle instant client setup and i sent the url (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html) with my request. Just a minute ago i get a mail that they said "setup is complete" but i still get same error. As i said i can't reach to the server remotely. I just have ftp password. This isn't my job (install programs and setting up a server) but there is too silly management for this. If you can suggest anything else that can help i'd really glad. Elizabeth M Smith wrote:

Hi, My problem is very simple but i can't handle it. I'm LAMP developer by the way. I have not much knowledge on IIS server with PHP, Anyway, i can't load php_oci8.dll and some other DLLs. Error message always same; PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\PHP\ext\php_oci8.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0 but location for php_oci8.dll is right and the file exist. Also the file is not readonly or sys file. Just an archive file like other extensions. I try to copy the file to winnt folder, system32 folder and adding the paths (c:/php and c:/php/ext/) to system envrionment variables. I must solve this problem til morning. Please help. P.S. : I'm not the admin of this server. I just request and they will do. -- Tim

The problem isn't that php_oci8.dll wasn't loading - otherwise you'd be getting a different error. What the "specified procedure could not be found" means is that the oci8 PHP extension can't find your oracle client libraries. If you want to talk to oracle server you have to install and configure the client libraries on the machine, which is something I haven't bothered with so I can't help there. Oracle has good documentation on how to do this. Thanks, Elizabeth Smith
