BTW... I'm not the one stuck trying to figure out how to recompile my current version 
of PHP to include the oci functions... haha! And guess what, with every release you 
get to do it all over again... so polish up on the shell scripting unless you want to 
reinvent the wheel every month or two. :-D

:-) ... Windows is the best at running the C# .NET applications I have to build to

:... it has been quite stable and believe it or not upgrades don't require a reboot!!! 
:I have even called the php parser directly from sql server dts packages & agent 
:jobs... PHP is much more powerful then anything m$ offers.

        Thanks, but my web server is HP-UX.

        Didn't anyone ever tell you Win-blows sucks?  :)

If your webserver is win32 then you need to uncomment the line in php.ini
that says :

;extension=php_oci8.dll

.... if it is unix based I am not sure what you need to do.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Oracle/PHP question...


        I am now trying to setup connectivity to a remote Oracle database
for my PHP/Apache web server.  I am attempting to verify connectivity to the
database by:

<?php
$connection = OCILogon("user", "password") or die ("Unable to logon to
database.");
?>

        I have installed the Oracle client on the system, and I have also
setup the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables.  Unfortunately
at this point I am not even able to make a successful connection to the
Oracle database.  I am currently receiving the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ocilogon() in /www/DW/oratest.php
on line 10

        Do I need to recompile PHP to be Oracle aware or something?  What is
it I am missing at this point?  Thanks in advance.
