PHP Help with Oracle

I am currently building a Corporate Finance program that will include a connection to an existing Oracle 8i database. I am using PHP and have scoured the web looking for solutions to this problem. I am using PHP 4.3.9, and have uncommented extension=php_oci8.dll in my php.ini file. I have also installed SQL+ on my machine, and have no problem connecting to the database from this app. I am using Apache server 2.0.52 and have restartedthe server after changing the php.ini file to load th new settings. I have even restarted the computer with no change. The error I am receiving is

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ocilogon() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\oratest.php on line 17


I have searched high and low, and cannot find a way to solve this problem. As stated above have uncommented the proper extension in php.ini, and php_oci8.dll does exist in my extensions directory.


HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you looked into Pear's DB Package?
Using it, and ODBC, may be a quality solution for you.

Other than that, I have no experience with php_oci8.dll...


*edit*
I don't know if you had read this, but it seems like a helpful guide/draft:
How to install Apache/PHP for working with Oracle Database on Win32 Platform
You could probably skip most of the Apache/PHP installation, but do read it in case you missed a step before.

MadCowDzz,

How can I ever thank you. That walkthrough is just what I was looking for. Although I could not get it to work at first, I uninstalled Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 4.3.9, and did a step by step installation per the walkthrough, and checked my phpinfo script and lo and behold, I had OCI8 support. Again thank you so much. Now all I have to do is to look through this other horrible servlet program, that i am essentially rewritting in PHP to extract the necessary queries from the Oracle database. Again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and God bless you and yours.
