I took some direction from but couldn't get it working until I made a few minor modifications of my own. Holy moly, I got it working! It took an insanely long time to piece together, but it's finally working! but if anyone can help, I'd be most appreciative? i know it's not really a Mint-related issue. it's a longshot, but I figure it's worth asking. but those seem to be pretty well-hidden, or at least poorly documented. (running on temporary VMs) If I knew how/where exactly to set up the XAMPP-specific environment variables, I could probably do it manually. I prefer the simplicity of XAMPP to manual installation, simply because I have to do it fairly frequently. Yes I have searched out on Google various ways as well - they all revolve around getting it set up on a manually-installed LAMP stack. The results have been the same on a fresh, brand-new installation of multiple Linux Mint distributions (17.3, 18.3, and 19.1/19.2) using XFCE & Cinnamon, as well as on Fedora 31 & Deepin 15.11, so I'm quite certain it is *not* a problem with Mint. I followed this exact same procedure multiple times - it consistently works with the PHP 5.6 versions and below, but not with PHP 7 versions. Their FAQ clearly states that it *is* supported, and even spells out exactly what should be done to activate this extension. I've made a post on the forum, and aside from a few "why would you want to do that" or "I don't have any idea" replies, it's been pretty much crickets. Once I moved up to the PHP 7 versions, it simply won't activate. at least until I made the jump from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7. ![]() In the past, I've done this using Linux Mint running XAMPP with the OCI8 extension activated. Long story short: as part of my job, I need to access an Oracle database to extract data for analysis. This may be a longshot, but I figure it can't hurt to ask: has anyone here successfully gotten the OCI8 extension working with XAMPP using PHP 7? And if so, can you tell me how?
