Oracle newbie... needs to know about php connection possibility

[Joseph_Sliker]

Hi; I've been happy as a clam working with php and MySQL. But I am very curious about trying a few things on an Oracle server.

Problem is, when I look at the php installation info (phpinfo) on the server I must use, apparently NO specific Oracle support has been installed (like the OCI stuff). Is there some sort of generic way to approach making a connection to an Oracle database with php scripts so I can read tables and hopefully write new records?

Also, is there something like the phpMyAdmin application for Oracle?

You might be able to use the [man]ODBC[/man] extension.

Which version of PHP are you using?
