Unable to enable oci8 module
Posted April 15th, 2008 by krzak
I'm unable to enable oci8 module (php5). I add it to"Php Modules" in Solution tree but php.ini (this one inside project folder) still keep this module commented out. What to do ?
Dependency Walker said I'm missing PHP5TS.DLL, where should I get it from ?


Make a copy of the php.ini
Make a copy of the php.ini file and change the oci setting.
Then go to the debug advance settings and point the php.ini file to your newly created file.
It doesn't work good. I
It doesn't work good. I point it to my custom name-php.ini file but I'm getting:
Failed opening required 'Config.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') ....
I don't know but there is no such include_path in my name-php.ini file at all.
phpinfo() section return value:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
In addition, does this setting is global? instead different for every project ? I have the same setting for every solution.
Inside the vs.php directory
Inside the vs.php directory there is a folder for php 5. Inside of it, there are two php.ini files. One for xdebug and one for dbg. If you are using xdebug, change the php-xdebug.ini to include oci8 and any other changes you would like. Those changes would be reflected in any project that is not using a custom php file (in debug advance settings).
