Re: [PHP-DB] oracle compilation with php
I see the answer has already been given on php-install. A suggestion which hasn't been made is to use PHP's new oci8 interface in preference to the old one called oracle whenever possible. To quote from a note on Oracle's PHP forum (see http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?forum=178 ) There are several reasons why I'd want to use PHP's OCI8 instead of ora_ calls: better Oracle behavior, performance and support, ability to use LOBs, and perhaps OCI8 is more widely used with better PHP support and examples.

RE: [PHP-DB] oracle compilation with php
I did not see an answer on php-install. I have also tried oci8, but I get the error mentioned at the bottom of my post. I have the ORA_HOME set, both on the shell level and the makefile level. I look under the ORA_HOME root with 'find ORA_HOME -name oci.h -print', and I get nothing. When I look for all headers, '*.h', I get none of the ones missing for php oci8 or oracle options. Thanks for the quote below, I will then want to look more to the oci8 calls then. Unfortunately, neither oci8 or oracle php option let me compile, due to the respective missing header files. -Original Message- From: Christopher Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 1:58 AM To: Douglas B.

Re: [PHP-DB] oracle compilation with php
Douglas, To try and reduce confusion, a Client install refers to the option of that name in the Oracle9i Database Release installer. (The other options are Database, Mgt Intg, and Cluster Mgt). This will install the headers needed to link PHP, if your previous installer choice didn't load them. The Oracle/PHP/Linux install notes at http://otn.oracle.com/tech/opensource/php/apache/inst_php_apache_linux.html skim over this but otherwise might have some info that is helpful and applicable to Tru64.
