[PHP-INSTALL] PHP, Apache and OCI8 issue

[Jack van Zanen]

Hi List,


I have installed Oracle, PHP and apache on my windows machine and have the
following issue

If I run phpinfo() from the command line it shows OCI8 as enabled and I can
connect to oracle databases.

When I copy my php.ini to my windows directory (from my php directory) and
start apache and than run phpinfo() from a php page in my browser it does
not show me that OCI8 is enabled and also does not allow me to connect to
databases. It does show it is using the right php.ini from my windows
directory

I'm sure this must be an environment setting somewhere but I can't work
this out.

Anybody with some more experience in installing this combo can shed some
light on this??

Hi jack,

the command line might use your php 'cli' config

can u paste php.ini? what did you use to install php on your machine ?

If you turn on the startup errors I am betting that you will see that you
do not have that dll. I have had many issues with the latest PHP build. It
is a mess from what I can tell. And one of the errors that I initially got
what that the Oracle dlls along with a few others that I cannot recall are
missing. Since I use Ms SQL Server and/or MySQL I didn't worry about it. I
just "turned off" the Oracle ext in the php.ini file. I suggest you turn
on the start up errors inside your php.ini file to verify that you have
the .dll. ONe person said that you could get the non-executable PHP build
and all the dlls were in that file. YOu just copy the missing ones to your
existing PHP setup. However, I found that even that build didn't include
some of the missing dlls. But it is a start . . . a start at narrowing
down you issue. If it is missing maybe the PHP folks or Oracle folks would
have the missing dll, or an older PHP build????
