Oracle 9 and PHP under Redhat 9

Hi,
I am planning to migrate my current web server from
redhat 7.x to 9 and I am currently evaluating what may
go wrong or need special attention before I actually
replace it.
After searching the archives and other lists I still
have a question :
a) oracle support
For the current setup I've downloaded and installed
the oracle 8i (8.1.5) in a separate machine, tar.gz
the lib directory in order to compile and run php with
oracle 8i in my production server.
Is this the best approach for Redhat 9 or should I try
to install oracle 9 which hopefully may have a
devel-only option ? Note that php needs to access
external oracle 8 servers which I do not mantain so compatibitity issues are important.
Regards.

I'm in a similar situation where i'm migrating from Win2k + PHP & want oracle support to connect to a remote server.
I got as far as installing redhat 9 & installing the oracle client.
I still can't get oracle to work in PHP though. doing a bit of research I dont think the redhat 9 RPM's come with oracle support compiled. I really dont want to be maintaining custom compiled php versions i'd rather just have up2date do it all. I hear you can get ODBC to work with oracle, but most of the stuff i've looked at covers doing this on windows, not linux.
If anyone out there has manager to get PHP & oracle working on RH9, without re-compiling PHP please let me know!

Oracle portal vs php

could you give me about comparation web development using oracle portal and php.
how about speed, security, flexibility ?
where i can find, site with oracle portal ?

I think that this kind of comparison is pretty much useless. It's a completely different environment. PHP is only a scripting language. Altough PHP is powerful, the Oracle 9iAS Portal is a completely different product. It features an RDBMS, Java language, an HTTP Server and various extensions.

Hello,
RedHat9 is not supported for any Oracle database release. Nevertheless you can try the following:
(in bash:) export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
(in tcsh:) setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1

Can we use oracle reports with php

hello
any body know about that oracle reports can use in php or not if not any reason if can use any example oracle report and php ill very thankful to all for this help bye
from farooq

It depends on what you mean by 'use oracle reports within php'. If you generate reports as urls (don't know if oracle reports supports this but I think it does), you can just link to them or catch them in an iframe.
If you are talking about generating a report from inside a php script, you can use a system() call to execute oracle reports tools such as 'rwrun'. If you do this, make sure your php server has proper oracle environment variables (such as ORACLE_HOME)

Why can't i start my oracle 9.2.0.1.0 under Redhat linux 8.0??

When i installing oracle, after copying the files, it telled me "install successfully" , but when it in the procedure: "Linking Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0", it stop and auto exit.
But I think i should have installed finish. So I try to start it. As below:
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 9925
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
How can I start it?
Is that because I hadn't set the value of "/proc/sys/kernel/sem" before I install oracle? It's original value is "250 3200 32 128", I don't know what it should be under Redhat Linux 8.0.
Can anybody help me?
thanks.

I followed the directions here
http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
Using this I was able to get 9201 installed on both SuSE8.1 and RedHat8.0.
On RH8, You have to hand modify the ins_ctx.mk per his instructions and up the value in /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax per his instructions. I did not hit the binutils issue. Other failures are probably missing rpms, as he describes.

I'm more than a bit confused why anyone would be installing, 10 years after its release, a now desupported version of the product. It seems from what you posted that you are installing on an operating system version that did not exist when 9i (whatever that means - 9.0.3 or 9.2.0.5 are version numbers) was released.
I would suggest installing 10.2.0.1 on Redhat 4, 11.1.0.6 on version 5, finding an ancient version of the O/S if you want 9.x or playing games with the install to see if you can trick it into thinking you have compatibility which is generally speaking a bad idea.

COMPONENT NAME: LKM Oracle to Oracle (datapump)
COMPONENT VERSION: 11.1.2.3
AUTHOR: Oracle
COMPATIBILITY: ODI 11.1.2 and above
Description:
- Loading Knowledge Module
- Loads data from an Oracle Server to an Oracle Server using external tables in the datapump format.
- This module is recommended when developing interfaces between two Oracle servers when DBLINK is not an option.
- An External table definition is created on the source and target servers.
- When using this module on a journalized source table, the Journaling table is first updated to flag the records consumed and then cleaned from these records at the end of the interface.

How to call an Oracle Procedure and get a return value in Php

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone tried calling an Oracle procedure from Php using the ora functions and getting the return value ? I need to use the ora funtions (no oci)because of compatibility and oracle 7.x as the database.
The reason why I post this here is because the ora_exec funtion is returning FALSE but the error code displayes is good. Is this a bug in the ora_exec funtion ?
My code after the connection call is as follows:
$cur = ora_open($this->conn);
ora_commitoff($this->conn);
$requestid = '144937';
echo $requestid;
$rc = ora_parse($cur, "begin p_ins_gsdata2
(:requestid, :returnval); end;");
if ($rc == true) {
echo " Parse was successful ";
$rc2 = ora_bind ($cur, "requestid", ":requestid", 32, 1);
if ($rc2 == true) echo " Requestid Bind Successful ";
$rc3 = ora_bind ($cur, "returnval", ":returnval", 32, 2);
if ($rc3 == true) echo " Returnval Bind Successful ";
$returnval = "0";
$rc4 = ora_exec($cur);
echo " Result = ".$returnval." ";
if ($rc4 == false) {
echo " Exec Returned FALSE ";
echo " Error = ".ora_error($cur);
echo " ";
echo "ErrorCode = ".ora_errorcode($cur);
echo "Error Executing";
ora_close ($cur);
The Oracle procedure has a select count from a table and it returns the number of records in that table. It's defined as:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure p_ins_gsdata2 (
p_requestid IN varchar2 default null,
p_retcode OUT varchar2)
as
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT (*) INTO p_retcode
FROM S_GSMRY_DATA_SURVEY
WHERE request_id = p_requestid ;
COMMIT;
RETURN;
END;
Nothing much there. I want to do an insert into a table,
from the procedure later, but I figured that I start with a select count since it's simpler.
When I ran the Php code, I get the following:
144937
Parse was successful
Requestid Bind Successful
Returnval Bind Successful
Result = 0
Exec Returned FALSE
Error = ORA-00000: normal, successful completion -- while
processing OCI function OBNDRA
ErrorCode = 0
Error Executing
I listed the messages on separate lines for clarity. I don't understand why it parses and binds o.k. but the exec returns false.
Thanks again in advance for your help. Have a great day.
Regards,
Rudi

retcode=`echo $?`is a bit convoluted. Just use:
retcode=$?I see no EOF line terminating your input. Your flavour of Unix might not like that - it might ignore the command, though I'd be surprised (AIX doesn't).
replace the EXEC line with :
select 'hello' from dual;
and see if you get some output - then you know if sqlplus commands are being called from your script. You didn't mentioned whether you see the banner for sqlplus. Copy/paste the output that you get, it will give us much more of an idea.

Oracle and php 5.4 doesn't work

Description:
I was using php 5.3 with oracle client 11g and everything works fine. I have a wep app already in production with php5.3. I tried upgrade to php5.4, so I install in another folder XAMPP 1.8 who uses php 5.4. I tried everything to make oracle works, but I cannot connect in the database. Its really strange because in the same machine with the same remote database php 5.3 works just fine.
I am using in php 5.3 o php_oci8.dll with oracle client 11g
and with php5.4 I tried use php_oci8.dll. The error is:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
after I tried php_oci8_11g.dll and the the error is:
ORA-24315: illegal attribute type
I on a Windows Vista 64bit Machine,
Both php are 32bis,
oracle client is 32bits
The database is in another machine.
I think that everything that you need to simulate the problem is install XAMPP 1.8, enable php_oci8.dll and try run the test script.
Test script:
print_r(get_loaded_extensions());
print_r(get_extension_funcs('oci8'));
echo system('env');
echo "Client Version: " . oci_client_version();
print_r(oci_pconnect(DBUSER, DBPASSWORD, DBTNS));
print_r(oci_error());
die();
Expected result:
I was expecting that the oci_pconnect works, because the same script with php 5.3, works.

Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i On Redhat 7.1

I have installed oracle 9i on SuSe 7.1 and Mandrake 8.0 successfully!!But when I want to install Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i on Redhat 7.1,it goes wrong! All installtion was successful.The last step is Link Pending and errors come~~~~:"Error in invoking target toolsinstall of make file /soft/oracle/product/9.0.1.0.0/ldap/lib/ins_ldap.mk".
See the graphic:http://211.100.12.66/oracle.htm

Go to www.oracle.com.
click on downloads in the upper right.
Select 8i Enterprise edition in the select product box.
select 8.1.7 for linux.
You should see the glibc patch on this page.
you will need a userid and password to the oracle technology network, but these are free if you do not have one.

Problem
When I am trying with PHP insert character "" ( http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0161/index.htm ) or some other special character into Oracle table and then do SELECT from this table I get value "??" which is wrong.
There is no problem for example with char "a". There is no problem inserting data with SQLPlus or Toad for Oracle - inserted data is always correct. There is no problem for example with echo("some_special_sharacters"); in PHP. I have no problems inserting data with PHP to MySQL database.
I have read this, but problem still exists:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/pdf/globalizing_oracle_php_applications.pdf
Plese help.
Thanks!

How do you insert it? How do you select it? Where are you viewing the character? What is in the database after the INSERT?

Oracle 9.2 and PHP 5.1.x problems

Hello everyone.
I have an extremely frustrating dilemma, which has been a pain for quite a while now.
I have been working with Oracle and PHP since Oracle 8.x and PHP4 and everything has been running smoothly. After we upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5 and from Oracle 8 to Oracle 9 I had to switch from using the old php_oracle extension to the OCI-libraries, but otherwise there were no problems.
But now I am completely stumped. We are currently using Oracle version 9.2 and since our production enviroment is extremely large we are not going to upgrade to Oracle 10 or greater for many years.
PHP though keeps on going forward. I am currently using PHP 5.1.0. I have tried several times upgrading to anything beyond that. 5.1.2, 5.1.4 and recently 5.1.6. But the oracle extensions just don't want to play anymore.
I get the following error message everytime I start my apache 1.3:
The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not be located in .. OCI.dll
After reading this thread
(Re: "The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not bel located in .. OCI.dll"
I seem to know what the cause of the problem is. But how can I get past this? I would really like to upgrade our PHP version and still be able to use oracle. 5.1.0 is the last version which seems to work ok. Anything greater than that will not work at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
EDIT: I am using Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server. Unfortunately Linux is not an option where I work.
EDIT2: Another edit. Actually I can start the thing up with PHP 5.1.2, but then I get a weird apache crash whenever I try to run a simple select query. No error messages and the log is empty. I am completely stumped.

Thanks for the answers. The oci8.dll is uncommented naturally. Otherwise it would start up just fine, but I couldn't use the database functions.
I got it working by installing 5.1.6, but replacing the oci8.dll with the one from the 5.1.0 -version. It's a very... desperate... solution, but at least it works.
I'm gonna have to try to sell the idea of using the 10g client to our DBA. I don't think though, that he'll be very enthusiastic to set it up on our production servers. We'll see.
