php oracle connect problem,really boring me

[chenxee]

i used pear::db to connect oracle9i, like this
$dbh=DB::connect('oracle://root:root@localhost/testdb');

why always report error,faint.

should i have to REbuild php with oci8 or with oracle?
i have installed php by rpm package. php-4.1.2

Thanks in advance.

U should check ur PHP configuration first through your phpinfo.
In configure command U will see :
./configure --with-some-option
--without-oracle --without-oci8 (if ur PHP not support)
or
--with-oci8=/path/to/$ORACLE_HOME (if ur PHP support oci8)

Usually with RPM distribution, the standard configuration is not support oracle or oci8. In this case U should reconfigure ur PHP.
