PHP4 and Oracle 8 on Windows

Anon

I've installed Oracle 8, Apache 1.3.13, PHP 4.0.2 on my PC with Win2K,
but I can't connect from PHP to Oracle DB.
I've this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ocilogon() in c:...

What can I do the resolve it ?

Thank's
Fabio

It seems that the module php_oci8.dll
is with comments in your php.ini file or
does not exists at all in your php
directory.
See php.ini and uncomment the following line

extension=php_oci8.dll

Look also if the modules are under another
directory f.i. the C:\PHP4\extensions

In php.ini find this and set it

extension_dir = C:\PHP4\extensions

The win32 version has not linked the
the dll for Oracle 8

Anon

Thank's, but I can find the php_oci8.dll file in my PC !
Where can I find It ?

Anon

You have downloaded a version without
the external modules (there a lot of
dlls). Try to download the right version
from www.php.net. If you can find it
post a mail

Anon

Go to http://php.weblogs.com/easywindows or www.php4win.de to download their version of PHP which has TONS of .dll files already compiled. OCI8 is included. I've got it working on my Win2K system just fine.

Folks

I'm having dll problems as well
I download the zip file which has the dlls from php.net extracted the oracle dlls to c:\php\extensions\ (note that my php installation is the automatic-setup-iis/pws .exe install)
edited my php.ini with
extension_dir = C:\PHP\extensions\

and my browser still sends back an error like so

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.3pl1

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ora_logon() in C:\Web\db.php on line 16
PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions\php_oci8.dll' - One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found. in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions\php_oracle.dll' - One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found. in Unknown on line 0

I'm using PWS on 98SE

let's see

first off, I think you should eitehr
php_oracle.dll or php_oci8.dll. don't load both of them.
for using second one , I thinky you need oracle client to be installed, cause seesm php dll use OCI dlls from oracle
waht oracle version you use?

Anon

You must have the php.ini file include the .dll file for oci8, AND you must have (at least) the oracle client installed in order for PHP connect to Oracle. Make sure you have the oracle SID and username/password setup properly in your PHP script.

Cheers,

Yeah unfortunatly I don't have the oracle client installed on my machine, I have an oracle account which resides on a sun solaris box in a different network (not our network) should I get an oracle client for windows from my isp???

Does the oracle client come with the 60 day trial enterprise version of 8i and if so, could I install that on either my win98/ NT 4 server box and connect to the solaris/oracle with it.

Finally Is there absolutly any way to connect to oracle 8 without the (net8) client it seems mad having to need this extra propriatry [spelling*#@!] software when you don't need it for other db systems like MS SQL and MySQL

Regards
John

You need the Oracle Client to connect
to Oracle (either ODBC either Direct).
The client part is on the
trial CDs, but you have to make a
Client Installation (there is an option
of this as far as I remember) or Custom
from the Oracle CD.
You have to know the IP-address of the
Server, where Oracle database resides
and also the SID of the database, so when
you make an alias to connect properly.
