The developers in our establishment are administrators on the development Windows 2000 server, which runs IIS 5 and PHP 4.2.3 (as of today). This problem was also reproduced on PHP 4.2.2.
When a PHP page was served to a non-privledged domain user (something as simple as echo 'blah'; for example), the users browser would hang. Eventually it would print the following error: X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.3 Content-type: text/html blahPHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\extensions\php_oracle.dll' - Access is denied. in Unknown on line 0 Since the first half of the line actually printed expected html document, but broke on the php_oracle.dll, we were lead to believe that it was the oracle piece under IIS/PHP. The oracle extension in itself is not the problem, since I am developing a page using the php_oracle.dll extension on this server just fine (returns valid data, etc). If this extension is commented out of the php.ini file, then a non-privledged user can execute any other php file from that point forth just fine (again, the simple echo script for example). Alternatively, if that user is given administrator access to the webserver, the php_oracle.dll extension can stay in place, and the user can properly execute a php script (including something that integrates with oracle, beyond just a basic script). I'm not sure why scripts would fail with the oracle extension in place, even though they have nothing to do with that piece. I also don't understand why a user needs higher privs to execute scripts with it in place. I wasn't able to find this problem in the bug list, nor did google return anything. There were alot of hits for "Unable to load dynamic library", but none of them seemed to be specific to user privledges. -- -- bojo -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
