PHP & Oracle

[catchmeifuwant]

Hi there,

Let me give a brief overview of what I attempted till now:

1)Installed PHP 4.3.4 on Windows XP using the installer.
2)Installed Abyss Web Server X1 (v 1.2.0)
3)Have SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production (Oracle 9i R 2)

Sample PHP's worked.Next step was to move into connecting to the DB.Here's the code:

<?php
$conn = Ora_Logon("user@CONNSTRING", "password");
?>

That's when I'm getting the error.On Googling learnt that I need to recompile PHP with Oracle support.Couldn't locate some info for :

Compiling PHP(installer version) on win xp to support Oracle 9i R2.

How to accomplish this?

Any inputs or ideas,links would be helpful.

Cheers !!!

PS:I'm 2 days into PHP..so pls give some detailed answers :-)

To compile PHP on Windows, you need Visual C++ 6.0 or later and the PHP source code package. In the package there are instructions that will guide you through the compilation process.

The zipped windows binary (rather than the installer) already has the dll compiled and included for oracle support i believe...

Hi there,

thanks for all ur comments !!!

I downloaded the zipped version of PHP.

Edited PHP.ini to uncomment php_oci8.dll and copied the dll to windows folder.

It worked !!!

Thanks for all the support !!!

Cheers !!!
