php and Oracle 8i

[Jeslek]

Does anyone know how to setup a connection between php and Oracle? The Oracle will be on a remote machine. I think you might need to install the Oracle client tools but I'm not sure. The php server will be FreeBSD or Linux.

(disclaimer, never done this personally (yet))

client tools is (probably) good.

(probably) need to link OCI libraries in with PHP when compiling.

connecting to remote servers same as local server (all done over sockets)

http://www.php.net/oracle is your friend.

as is google...

and a million odd dollars of oracle books...
