Hi all - I'm very new at this so please forgive the incoming!
I'm trying to use XAMPP to be able to connect to my local oracle DB - I have not even gotten to the point of getting my Require_once('DB.php') working, it tells me its invalid.
I read in the docs this little section:
Depending on your operating system, add a : (Unix/Linux/FreeBSD/Mac OS X) or a ; (Windows) after the dot. Add PEAR's php_dir after it. (The directory System.php is located in!)
The result should look like that:
; Unix
include_path=".:/usr/local/php/pear/"or
; Windows
include_path=".;C:\php\pear\"
I'm using windows, and into my PHP.ini file where it said:
;Windows
;include_path = '.;c:\php\includes"
to
;windows
include_path = '.;c:\XAMPP\xampp\php\PEAR"
(this happens to be the same entry for the include just below it which is php default setting for include_path it says
my installation directory is C:\XAMPP and my system.php file is located in C:\XAMPP\xampp\php\PEAR
if I create another file and do:
<?php
require_once 'System.php';
var_dump(class_exists('System'));
?>
I get back bool(true) So I'm not sure exactly WHERE my problem is - any help would be appreciated.
