Re: [PHP-DB] Error loading module: Unable to load dynamic library
Thank you, that got me in the right direction. The OCI.DLL file on my system was an older version and dependency walker determined this. After that it was a simple matter of finding the right file version. Thanks!

There are a coupel of things to try: (i) Check phpinfo() output. Make sure PATH in the Apache env section contains the Oracle bin directory. If this is not clear in my FAQ, please let me know so I can update the FAQ. Currently http://otn.oracle.com/tech/opensource/php/php_troubleshooting_faq.html#envvars says: If Apache starts but gives errors about Oracle libraries and/or OCI8 function calls fail, try looking at PHP's environment. Create the following script phpinfo.php where your web server can read it and load it in a browser: ?php phpinfo(); ? Triple-check the environment and path configuration. On UNIX check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) contains $ORACLE_HOME/lib. On Windows the PATH variable may need to contain %ORACLE_HOME%\bin. (ii) Install http://www.dependencywalker.com/ and run it on php_oci8.dll I'll look into adding a comment about this utility in the next FAQ update.

Re: [PHP-DB] Error loading module: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\tools\php\extensions\php_oci8.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found
Yes, and as I was writing earlier, the message talks about a missing procedure. If I remove the file temporarily, the message talks about a missing library. So I think it can find the file OK, but that this php_oci8.dll file is the wrong version or that it is looking for an additional DLL that it can't find OR that it can find the additional DLL but it is the wrong version. If I only knew what DLL was needed! Daniel Clark wrote: Is the file in c:\tools\php\extensions\php_oci8.dll ?

Re: [PHP-DB] Error loading module: Unable to load dynamic library
Thanks for your quick reply, Chris. My oracle 8i client setup does work on XP independently of PHP. I can connect to Oracle using PERL, ODBC, Java as well as a database management tool called Aqua Data Studio which uses native connections.

Re: [PHP-DB] Error loading module: Unable to load dynamic library
The error sounds like an environment problem. Check phpinfo() to see what paths are being used - see the FAQ. Chris Philippe wrote: Thanks for your quick reply, Chris.
