PHP Oracle Connectivity

[ovhretcanu]

A try to connect to Oracle (version 7...) with PHP using ODBC and/or Oracle drivers but I receive this annoyng error message ORA-01019. A try to resolve this issue in various ways but the problem persists; The oracle documentation tells me:

"ORA-01019 unable to allocate memory in the user side
Cause: The user side memory allocator returned an error.
Action: Increase the size of the process heap or switch to the old set of calls."

Please, if there is someone who really had & solve this problem, to tell me too... I don't know what this "switch to the old set of calls" really meant, and, Yes, a read the outher mesages posted on the same subject but still don't know how to do'it.

I use Apache 2.0.40 / PHP 4.2.2 / Oracle 7.2, php_oci8.dll failed to load...

I wish you the best,

I dont think you use php_oci8.dll with Oracle 7, only 8. Try using php_oracle.dll instead.

You are right... php_oci8 fail to load (although the php tells: "These functions allow you to access Oracle8 and Oracle7 databases. It uses the Oracle8 Call-Interface (OCI8) "), but the php_oracle.dll don't do the job also (even if the phpinfo() reports me that's all ok). I think the problem is at the client level, but don't know how to resolve... (increase the heap and the rest...)
If you have hint, a please advice me!
