I have installed XAMPP 1.8 on windows 7. I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_connect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\tools\cOracle.php on line 33. Did a research online and tried everything for last 2 days and still doesn't work.

I did following things:
Uncommented extension=php_oci8_11g.dll in php.ini
Added C:\instantclient_11_1;
Checked extension folder has oci8.dll file

Please advise me what changes I have to do to make it work.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem.

My understanding is that you need to use the Instant Client with PDO methods. The old methods are deprecated.

The proper extension is: php_pdo_oci.dll

Code: Select all

;extension=php_pdo_oci.dll

http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-oci.php

I have no way to test this, as I don't 'do' Oracle.

Good Luck

Tried but I didn't work.

You need C:\instantclient_11_1 in your enviroment path (also check phpinfo() for "oci8" section)
