What do I need for php/Oracle on separate box?

[Anon]

I have a linux box which I am going to install apache with php as a module. I intend to use php script to talk to an oracle db server which is on a remote box.

So what I need to install on my box, except --with-oracle? Do I need Oracle Client Library? anything else? And what format do I have to use on OCILogon() to connect a remote server?

1 - You need to install the Oracle client libs on your PHP box. The tnsnames.ora file must contain the address of the remote DB.
2 -There must be a listener running on your Oracle box in order to accept remote requests.
3 - Compile PHP with :
./configure --with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME
to add oracle OCI support

The syntax of OCI logon is:
OCILogon(userid, password, [DBName])
ex:
OCILogon("scott","tiger","ORCL");
or
OCILogon("scott/tiger@ORCL") is a valid form.

Don't hesitate to post for more help.
