Hi again,

I did request for oracle instant client setup and i sent the url
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html)
with my request. Just a minute ago i get a mail that they said "setup is
complete" but i still get same error.

As i said i can't reach to the server remotely. I just have ftp password.

This isn't my job (install programs and setting up a server) but there
is too silly management for this. If you can suggest anything else that
can help i'd really glad.
