Hi guys,

Having written in PHP with MySQL for a few years, I now need to start
incorporating our Oracle 9i database into some of our pages. I have
read a fair bit on the subject and it seems that most people are of the
opinion that the OCI commands are the most versatile. Unfortunately
though, when I uncomment the extension=php_oci8.dll line in my php.ini,
php stops working. When I try to call it from the command line or
through a web page it just hangs indefinately without any error message
at all. I am running PHP 5.0.4 on Windows with IIS. I have installed
the Oracle client and can connect to the remote database through SQLPlus.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks,
Richard
