Call to undefined function: ocilogon()

[Anon]

This happens when I try to use the binary executable from my server.

"php -q myscript.php"

outputs : Call to undefined function: ocilogon()

ocilogon() happens to be the first function call within my page.

From the web, my entire site works great, but
from the shell, trying to do anything doesn't work.

any clues?

Jason,

Sounds like the command line call isn't reading php.ini. Try placing the following in your script, above the first Oracle function call:

$path = "/path/to/php_oci8.";

strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) == 'WIN' ? dl($path . "dll") : dl($path . "so");

The path statment expects the full path and filename (minus extension) to the Oracle 8i extension. The second bit merely checks if you're running Win32 or *Nix and then uses the dl() function to load the extension using the file extension appropriate for the server's OS. HTH,

Cheers,
