php and oracle

[Anon]

Hallo,
I have problems connecting with a local oracle 8 database on Linux Mandrake 7.2
The pages say to me that the funcion are not known. I did see the /etc/php.ini file and the records that I did find about orale are:

[java]
java.class.path=/usr/lib/php/extensions/php_java.jar
java.library.path=/usr/lib/php/extensions
extension=oracle.so
extension=oci8.so

I need something else?
Thank you very Much and a big hallo from Rome.

this is the message, if you need it

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ora_logon()

it seems that php doesn't know oracle functions.

I found in php.ini a lot of record about MySQL for example but nothing about oracle.

Thanks again...

It sounds like you do not have Oracle support compiled in PHP.

Create a page with only a phpinfo tag ( "<?php phpinfo() ?>" and check to see that the "Configure Command" section contains the "--with-oci8" directive.

You should also have an "oci8" subsection later in the page.

I'm guessing you have neither. If this is the case, you'll need to recompile PHP with the '--with-oci8' directive. You MUST have an installed Oracle client on the system to do this...PHP uses the libraries from Oracle.
