Sorry, I posted into the php-general newsgroup earlier.
Hi, I saw numerous posting on this type of posting and no one seems to have a consistent solution to it. Lately, I am quite disapointed with the pain of going thru this configuration and testing. I need to access the oracle 8i server db using XP + Oracle client 8i + Apache 2.2 + PHP5.2 and I have tried the following without success. What is the error ? not sumething special but common "PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\\php52\\ext\\php_oci8.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0" 1. download the php_oci8.dll from http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_oracle.dll (you name the version, tried everythign doesn't work) 2. assign ORACLE_HOME, NSL_LANGUAGE...nope...doesn't work. 3. use old php4.1.xx + Apache 1.3xx on XP with Oracle client 8i...nope doesn't work ( I use this in my NT4, it works like charm) 4. Zendcore for oracle...no no...it doesn't support Oracle 8i connectivity. 5. anyone know where to look for oracle 8i/9i clients for linux ? not available at oracle website :( Anyone can help ? Tq
