PHP/Oracle/apache/oci8

Hi all,

I have installed Rehat 7.2, it includes php 4.0 & apache 1.3. Also installed Oracle 8.1.7 client and can connect to Oracle database server by sqlplus. Problem is I can not make php pages to access Oracle instance. There is a configure commmand under /usr/share/libtool/toolldtl, is it the correct one to do like this:
./configure --with-mysql-with- oci8=/orasw/prod/oracle/product/8.1.7 -with-apache=/.... -enable-track-vars ? Which apache folder I should use with -with-apche as it was installed by default. I got errors :

configure: warning: oci8=/orasw/prod/oracle/product/8.1.7: invalid host type
configure: warning: apache=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.14: invalid host type
configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time
configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..

I'm quite new to Linux/php so could some one help

Thanks a lot

hi, there is one question that I would like to ask first.

Do you really put the configure statement as like this?
./configure --with-mysql-with- oci8=/orasw/prod/oracle/product/8.1.7 -with-apache=/.... -enable-track-vars

i believe that this configure statement is not the correct way to do so.

This is what I did

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-oci8=/usr/local/oracle_home --with-apache=/apache --enable-tracks-vars

first is the mysql, configure to the directory that your mysql installed, then for the oracle also the same, and for the apache is where the path you untar the source file.

And if you would like to use the ora function, you will need to add
--with-oracle=[dir], and I also do not know why that it has to be in this sequence
--with-oracle=[dir] --with-oci8=[dir]

i tried in this sequence then it success, but some time the --with-oracle=[dir] do return error, and I do not know the reason.

Hope that this can help you.

Thanks,

I removed PHP then reinstalled. It worked fine with
./cnfigure --with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME --with-apxs --enable-track-vars. However, when I did make command, I got :

../../php_oci.h:52:17: oci.h: no such file or directory. I can not find oci.h else where. Can you please advise.

Thanks,

There is only oci.h inside the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/oci.h, but I also do not know what caused that problem.

can you specified more clearly where you encounter that problem, I know that when you are compiling the php, it will print out something like

checking oci support........Yes

can you show me where did this error occured?
