I installed the FreeBSD port of php4.3.4. In order to query a
remote database server running Oracle8I, I am supposed to use oci
commands. I have a test script that one would think should do nothing
except briefly connect to the remote server:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?
//Login to SQL
$numero= ocilogon("application", "password", "servername");
Instead, I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ocilogon() in /usr/home/martin/tmp/vm on
line 8
There is a user configuration box to set up when building the
port. I do not disturb the default flags, but also selected the mssql
support as well as mysql support. I also selected Oracle support, but
that turns out to be for Oracle versions up to 7. If you have Oracle7
or higher, you should use the oci8 support. There is no oci8
selection in the user configuration box, so it isn't like I forgot it.
Any ideas as to why php gives me this fatal error?
Our queries to the mssql server do work, but I am having no
luck at all establishing communication with the Oracle8I server which
runs on a Windows platform.
Is there a good oci command to use to prove that I have
established communication with the server?
As always, thanks for any constructive ideas. This is kind of
a border-line question between whether it should be in this list or
the FreeBSD-questions mailing list, but it is also a bit specialized,
and maybe someone will recognize the problem.
