Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi,

I need to connect with an Oracle database.
I found the file php_pdo_oci.dll at the ext folder under php folder.
I change the php.ini file deleting de comment (;) before the line with the text "extension=php_pdo_oci.dll" (without quotes), under the [PECL] tag.

But, when I try to start XAMPP (all the services) the operation cancel and show a message saying the library oci.dll is not found.

Who can help me?

Thankyou.

Hi caribeanpirate,

you need the oci.dll from your Oracle Instant Client to be available for Apache.
You can copy it to your \xampp\apache\bin\ folder.

best wishes,

Thanks Altrea.
When you say oci.dll you are talking about the php_pdo_oci.dll or about another oci.dll?

If i am saying oci.dll i am talking about oci.dll and not php_pdo_oci.dll. Look into the installation path of your oracle instant client, it's in there.

Thank you very much.
