 Hi all,<br />
I'm running PHP and IIS on a Win XP machine trying to connect to an Oracle database on another Windows machine.<br />
<br />
I have the Oracle client installed and an ODBC DSN setup which connects succesfully. I have a test PHP script with the following line:<br />
<br />
$conn = odbc_connect(&quot;DSNNAME&quot;, &quot;USERNAME&quot;, &quot;PASSWORD&quot;);<br />
<br />
and I get the following error:<br />
<br />
Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (Oracle in OraHome92)., SQL state IM003 in SQLConnect in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\blahbla<wbr />h\oraclete<wbr />st.php on line 6<br />
<br />
I use that code to connect to SQL server on other machines using a similar DSN connection. I can't work out why this is not working.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

PHP to Oracle via ODBC

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
