Hi, Pavels suggestion is a good start, use oracle_connect and the other functions only with orcle prior to 8.x. OCI8 is perfect for Oracle >=8.x. The most important step is to install the oracle client on the windows server where php runs. PHP needs the oracle client. Install it, make sure that the environment variables like ORACLE_HOME are set up correctly and enable the oci8 extension in the php.ini on your web server. If the oracle server is already running on the same server as php your oracle environment should already be set up fine :) Regards, Thomas =============================================== Thomas Sinka mobil: +49 163 3 23 12 72 mailto: thomas.sinka@it-choice.de An: Pavel Sodomka <sody@seznam.cz> Kopie: php-db@lists.php.net Blindkopie: Thema: Re: Connecting PHP to Oracle9i @ 15.05.2003 09:13 ZE2 <font size=-1></font> On Thu, 15 May 2003 08:00:52 +0200 (CEST) Pavel Sodomka <sody@seznam.cz> wrote: > Hello. > Please help me.

Look at the OCI8 extension - it perfectly supprts Oracle 9i. php.net/oci8 -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
