I'm trying to connect my php page to oracle database but I keep getting this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_connect()
the steps that I followed were:
1- I downloaded the Instant Client from here (Client Package - Basic+ Client Package - ODBC) and I extracted them in one file.
2- I copied the file to my C drive and added a System Variable with the name path and the value of my file location.
3- I edited php.ini by removing the ; at the beginning of oci8 package.
4- restarted my computer.
what did I do wrong?
Ps: I'm using win8 64 bit + xampp
Thank you
