PHP4/Win2k/IIS/Oracle configuration question...

[thetooth]

I'm having a problem that I'm hoping someone else has already run into and can help me out with.

I have PHP installed and functioning on IIS/Win2k and I was trying to enable the Oracle extensions.

I have altered the php.ini file as follows:

...
extension_dir = "C:\PHP\extensions"
...
extension=php_oci8.dll
;extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_oracle.dll
...

Now, when I call any php page, I receive the following errors:

"Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions/php_oci8.dll' - The specified module could not be found"

and

"Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions/php_oracle.dll' - The specified module could not be found"

The .dll files both exist in that directory. The only problem I can think of is the '/' before the .dll name, but I don't know how to change that.

Any help would be appreciated,

try extension_dir = "C:/PHP/extensions"

Thanks for the reply, Malbera.

I tried that earlier, with no luck.

I did, however, just figure out (and correct) the problem. It turns out that you get that error message when the .dll fails to initialize as well as when it can't find it. It COULD find it, but it couldn't initialize it because I needed the Oracle client libraries on that same server. My company accesses Oracle through a central server location.

I downloaded the client from OTN and installed it on my server. That pretty much fixed the problem.
