configure oracle library for php on w2

Anon

I've read a lot on this forum to find how to configure my php to work with oracle. My setting :

win2000
oracle client 8i
apache 1.3.13
php4

I've change my php.ini (uncomment the line for entension) and I know that I have to change the path to my oracle libraries but I dont know how to do this on win2000.

I have to got the oracle client version on my server so I cannot install full version.

I really appreciate help please, I've search for all day long to run with php and oracle and still doesn't work..

Thanks

Hi,

The only thing that needs to point anywhere is the php_oci.dll and php_oracle.dll, which are usually in the extensions directory and as you have enabled them in php.ini it should be okay.

After enabling does your webserver restart without any errors?

Your tnsnames.ora file (installed as part of the Oracle client) must have an entry to point to an Oracle database. Do you have access to an Oracle database either locally or remote?

Check the Oracle client is installed properly by running SQLPlus (usually found Start|Oracle|SQLPlus or something like that). Use your username, password and database name (as defined in the tnsnames.ora)
