Oracle Module under UNIX

[Anon]

Hi,

in order to communicate with that &")/%* Oracle database, I need a kind of module, so that PHP is able to connect. Is that right or am I completely wrong? I always get the error message, "...Call to undefined function: ora_logon() in..."
Where can this module be found?
Any help appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Cheers Tom

check this
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.oracle.php

and

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.configure.php#install.configure.databases

search for "oracle"

you may want to compile php with following option

--with-oci8[=DIR]
PHP 3: Option not available in PHP 3

PHP 4: Include Oracle-oci8 support. Default DIR is ORACLE_HOME

update

if u were using unix, then compiling is okay with the --with-oci8[=DIR]

BUT on windows its easy, use the php_oci8.dll file to be found under C:\PHP\extensions (if u installed the entire php in c:\php)

u may need to copy the dll to your windows directory. check the php.ini file (in windows dir) for the "extension_dir = ./" syntax and place the proper directory at ./

note on win2000 windows directory is c:\WINNT
