I installed oracle 11g and I did create some tables and manipulate it using sql developer, and I am looking for a way to connect oracle with php on hosting site.
I tried but I get error after using this code:
$Conexion_ID =oci_connect($OracleUser, $OraclePassw, $OracleIP);
this is the error:
Call to undefined function oci_connect()
I've known that I should install and configure OCI8, so I downloaded this file:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html
but I don't know in which folder should I them to make the connection work well.
Download the PHP Extension from here(Confirm the PHP Version and download for the same, the thread safe[TS] version): http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8/2.0.8/windows
You should be able to find three .dll's
php_oci8.dll, php_oci8_11g.dll and php_oci8_12c.dll
Place all dll's in extension directory, in WAMP it is generally wamp\bin\php\php5.*.*\ext
open the php configuration from the System try of wamp server and add the line:
; Enable only which is required
;extension=php_oci8.dll
extension=php_oci8_11g.dll
;extension=php_oci8_12c.dll
Restart the Apache server.
EDIT : Sorry I thought the other dll's are the libraries, but instead they are for different oracle versions. In your case enable 11g. Answer updated.
Update 2016-11-07: just wanted to say that latest package can be found here https://pecl.php.net/package/oci8. When I wrote this answer 2.0.8 was latest i guess.
