how to set xampp with oracle

Hello,

Someone could help me? I'd like to know how to set the oracle with xampp. I have the oracle client installed in my machine.
I changed the php.ini file, uncommenting the following line (extension=php_oci8.dll).

I'm thinking what your question really means?

Do you mean -
I want Oracle database support for my Apache server installed under XAMPP, so I can write or use applications that require Oracle database support and serve them with my XAMPP installation -- with the database on my server machine?


If so - I'm sorry, but Oracle is not a supported database type in XAMPP, so there is no guaranteed result.

If you wish to use a remote Oracle database installed on another machine, read this - and about the Instant Client libraries
http://www.php.net/manual/en/oci8.requirements.php

Honestly, I don't know if the Instant client libraries will work -- as i suspect they were written with standalone, registry integrated applications in mind.

NO matter what is said anywhere:

Is the client dll a VC6 version compiled for PHP 5.3? If not, I'm pretty sure it will not work. (I hope someone else may know more)

All PHP extensions that need to run with Apache Software foundation binaries have to be compiled with the Visual C found in Visual Studio 6, and be compiled for the matching PHP version.

Which version do I choose?

If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP

If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP

VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler

VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and have improvements in performance and stability. The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed

Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries


Good Luck with your project.
