Oracle using PHP oci8 HELP!!

[cgswong]

Hi,

I'm running Red Hat 8 with Apache 2 and Oracle9i R2 client installed. I need to connect to some remote Oracle databases so I am trying to install PHP 4.3.1 with the "--with-oci8[=DIR]" option. The "./configure" went through okay but the "make" afterwards gives numerous errors relating to oci8. Below is a sample:

/opt/php-4.3.1/ext/oci8/oci8.c:5289: `OCI_TYPECODE_TABLE' undeclared (first use in this function)
/opt/php-4.3.1/ext/oci8/oci8.c:5290: `OCI_TYPECODE_VARRAY' undeclared (first use in this function)
/opt/php-4.3.1/ext/oci8/oci8.c:5297: request for member `in_call' in something not a structure or union

/opt/php-4.3.1/ext/oci8/oci8.c:5323: `OCI_TYPEGET_HEADER' undeclared (first use in this function)

The full thing is WAY TOO LONG. The full options for the "./configure" I can post if anyone wants. I have a deadline of this week PLEASE HELP ME!!

Thanks.

HI,

You use oracle 9, but yet you compile php with oracle 8? I wonder if that matter. Usually people use oracle 8 with php.

Well there's no option to configure PHP with Oracle9i but you're point is taken. Perhaps installing Oracle8/8i would make the install succeed but it's Oracle9i that I need to work with.

Thanks.

HI,

I suggest you try with php developer on using oracle 9 with php.

When you run ./configure with options, I wonder if you be able to run make after that and ignore the error mesage. Have you try that? Sometimes you can just ignore the error.
