Secure Server Question

[adam777]

I am about to begin work on a site that will sit on a secure server talking to Oracle 9i.

I have not worked with secure servers before, if I understand correctly I do not need to implement anything in my code different to normal. Or do I.

I was going to use the ODBC functions for this job, the queries are quite straightforward (all selects) , should I be looking to use the Oracle functions instead?

Thanks

No difference in coding needed. Whether a server is in secure mode or not depends on the TCP port it's using (you'll see that when configuring SSL). A site which may be helpful understanding security is http://www.thawte.com

My guess is that you best use the Oracle functions of PHP instead of ODBC, but that's up to you really. Use what you're most comfortable with 😉
