Re: PHP4 and Oracle 8.0.5/WinNT

Hello John (and of course everyone else in the great world of PHP), thank you for your reply! The connection is a straight forward ora_logon() as below: ------- if($conn = ora_logon("logon_id@database_sid", "password")) { /* SELECT and UPDATE stuff */ } else { /* act on the failed connection */ } ------- Note that the above connection code worked with the PHP3! And I can do both SQL Plus and TNSPING toward the database in question. In the previous PHP3 installation I had enabled the following extensions in php3.ini: extension=php3_oci73.dll In the new PHP4 installation (php3.ini removed) the following are enabled in php.ini: extension=php_oracle.dll ; BOD Tried adding the extension php_oci8.dll as well, but with no difference. Do I need an oci73.dll for PHP4? Been looking for one but without any luck. Thank you. :) Regards, bod Asendorf, John wrote: > Hi Bod, > > Since I'm not a PHP guru nor an Oracle dba, my answer is probably pretty > stupid.
