Help on PHP Oracle Needed

[Serialmouse]

Hmm, I have an upcoming project which requires me to create an SMS interface with Oracle 9i database. On SMS part I don't have problems, but I wanna know what I should do to make my PHP codes access Oracle 9i databases (Log in, Log out, Query, etc.).

I read manual, most state Oracle 8i, will those functions be compatible to 9i (backward compatibility)? I also wanna know if PHP installation already incorporated Oracle interface (such as library files)? What I should do to know if PHP set up on our development machine already ready for Oracle connections, and set it up if it does not have it yet?

Posted this on database message board, no one seems to care, so I posted it here too. Sorry.

I read the thread, it was really helpful. I already thought about looking on PHP.INI file, but had to make sure and hear it from the real experts of PHP. Thanks.

I saw ur profile, if ur profile is correct, then you are just older than me by one year. 🙂

THANKS a bunch.
