missing oci.dll and failed to load php_oci8.dll
769987Apr 29 2010 — edited Jun 24 2010Hey,
I'm very new to oracle and php, i need help in connecting to oracle using oci_connect()
I have an issue connecting to remote database installed on a VM running windows server 2003, both oracle instant and db are on that box (oracle 9i). Is there a way to connect straight to that?
if not, i have installed oracle instant 10g basic on my local machine (running windows 7 enteprise). I also set PATH to c:\instant_client_10g\instant_client and created tnsnames.ora in that directory. I have also set TNS_ADMIN to point to that directory. Not to mention uncommenting ;extension='php_oci8.dll' in php.ini However when i start apache (using XAMPP), i got this error
The propgram can't start because OCI.dll is missing from your computer and PHP Startup: Unabe to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_oci8.dll' ect
When i run phpinfo() obviously oci8 is not displayed
Please Help!! Thanks in advance
