XAMPP - Oracle Driver Setup (v12)

Requirements

This driver requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. The redistributable can easily be downloaded on the Microsoft website as x86 or x64 edition. Notice: On a x64 computer the x86 AND the x64 version must be installed.

Visual C++ Redistributable für Visual Studio 2015

Setup

Testest with PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2

• Download the Oracle Instant Client for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) v.12 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
• Unzip file: instantclient-basiclite-nt-12.2.0.1.0.zip
• Copy all *.dll files: to c:\xampp\php
• Copy all *.dll files to c:\xampp\apache\bin (Yes, a second copy!)
• Make sure that the file c:\xampp\php\ext\php_oci8_12c.dll exists.
• Enable php extension in php.ini: extension=php_oci8_12c.dll (For PHP 7.2+ use extension=oci8_12c)
• Restart Apache
• Click the Github ★ Star button :-)

Connection test

    echo "oci_connect found\n";
} else {
    echo "oci_connect not found\n";
    exit;
}

$host = 'localhost';
$port = '1521';

// Oracle service name (instance)

    )
  )";

try {
    $conn = oci_connect($db_username, $db_password, $tns);

        $e = oci_error();
        throw new Exception($e['message']);
    }
    echo "Connection OK\n";

    if (!$stid) {

        throw new Exception($e['message']);
    }
    // Perform the logic of the query
    $r = oci_execute($stid);
    if (!$r) {
        $e = oci_error($stid);
        throw new Exception($e['message']);
    }
    
    // Fetch the results of the query
    while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_ASSOC + OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
        $row = array_change_key_case($row, CASE_LOWER);
        print_r($row);
        break;
    }
    
    // Close statement
    oci_free_statement($stid);
    
    // Disconnect
    oci_close($conn);
    
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    print_r($e);
