Apache, PHP, Oracle Installation Help

Post by mbor »

Hi, new user! I've been combing links looking for some help. I'm totally clueless when it comes to this stuff, it's my first time, and I have to use these for a project. I've downloaded Apache 2.0.63, PHP 5.2.5, and Oracle Express 10g. I've managed to get Apache/PHP working together...I think. I have a "localhost" and I can view my information with a simple phpinfo file. I think the next thing I need is to be able to see the OCI8 module in the phpinfo file to connect to my database...right? However, that module doesn't show up and I cannot understand what the problem is...after several hours of trying. I've tried using a simple test file, but I get an undefined function call for the ocilogin() statement, so I'm pretty sure this is the problem. All the information I've found points me to my php.ini file and uncommenting the extension for php_oci8, which I've done, and I've updated the extension_dir to reflect the location of the php/ext folder. OCI8 still doesn't show up...what am I missing? Thanks for any help! Mike
