Question

I have XAMPP installed with PHP 5.2.6 in Windows XP. In my php.ini I have the next lines uncommented:

• extension=php_oracle.dll
• extension=php_oci8.dll

I have a file with something like this:

<?php

$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');

?>

But when I try call to php.exe through cmd to that file, the console always give me an error:

Fatal Error: Call to undefined function oci_connect()

In my localhost I have no problem with this.

Probably, you’re not looking at the right php.ini file for the command line.

In php.exe, run:

echo phpinfo();

then look for the php.ini path at the top.
