I need to connect to an Oracle 8i server, but oci8 does not support it by default.
The php documentation says as following:
Note:
If
OCI8
uses9iR2
client libraries, thenPHP
can connect to Oracle Database8i
,9iR2
,10g
or11g
. IfOCI8
uses10gR2
client libraries, the database can be9iR2
,10g
,11g
or12c
. IfOCI8
uses11g
client libraries, the database can be9iR2
,10g
,11g
or12c
. IfOCI8
uses12c
client libraries, the database can be10gR2
,11g
or12c
.
How can I setup OCI8
to use 9iR2
client libraries?
My current environment is:
I'm on a ubuntu server,
Oracle 8i
version 8.1.7.4.0
I have already installed instantclient libraries(I'm able to connect to oracle 10i and above)
I'm using instantclient version 12.1... Also tried with instantclient version 10.2
Could someone help me figuring out what the problem might be and how to solve it? Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you
