Hello folks, I need help with the following. I'm recording machine production and 'health' status information into a Oracle 9.2 DB. That's working great, rock solid, great admin tools, etc. I've been trying to use the Rockwell Software tools to get the data out onto the web in a pretty format, but Rockwell's tools are brittle, buggy, and overpriced. Also, ASP + VBScript for my hacks is turning out to be crufty and slow. I have Oracle 9.2 sitting on a Win2k server that is the primary domain controller. I've set up IIS with PHP, and everything is working great... It can see all the extensions, and with a change to the permissions of the oci.dll, PHP can see that too. I'm wanting to use ADODB 3.1 as a cleaner interface to the Oracle database via oci8. But no matter what I try, I get errors. These errors are not the "access is denied" error I saw when oci.dll had the wrong perms. It seems I get a warning in the ado... Here is the code snippet from the testpage, tnsname has been changed to protect the guilty... ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the dbtest.php file, based on samples given on the adodb page -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php include('.\adodb\adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb include('.\adodb\tohtml.inc.php'); $conn = &ADONewConnection('oci8'); # create a connection # connect to Oracle OCI8 DB... $conn->debug=true; $conn->NConnect('', 'usr', 'usr_pwd', 'TNSName'); # select machines from machinetable $recordSet = $conn->Execute("select * from machinetable"); if (!$recordSet) print $conn->ErrorMsg(); else while (!$recordSet->EOF) { print $recordSet->fields[0].' '.$recordSet->fields[1].'<BR>'; $recordSet->MoveNext(); } #$recordSet->Close(); # optional #$conn->Close(); # optional ?> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the error I get in my HTML page, when I browse to dbtest.php -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: _oci_open_server: in D:\PHP\includes\adodb\drivers\adodb-oci8.inc.php on line 132 : (oci8): select * from machinetable : --------------------------------------------------------------------------- adodb-oci8.inc.php is part of the adodb package, and I am getting a warning at that line in the ADODB code. Is this a bug? Should I try ADODB 2.5 instead since it's listed as being more stable on the site? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get a demo app up and running in a few days so they don't think I'm nuts for trying this... <:) -Daniel Joyce -- The Meek shall inherit the Earth...
