Hey All,

 

This for the first time I want to connect Oracle DB (10g) using PHP. So far I have been doing it using Perl

 

What are the pre-requisites - Like which version of PHP, any driver etc. My Oracle DB is located remotely.

 

To start off with I want to fetch some rows on Windows and then move to Unix. Hence I would also need the prequisites for Unix as well (Solaris).

My next project will involve using an Oracle DB with PHP instead of the usual MySQL.

 

I've read a little about PHP and Oracle and so far I have done the following.

 

1) Installed Oracle 10g express

2) Downloaded Oracle Instant Client

 

As far as i'm aware, i need to do the following;

1) Add the path of the Instant Client to the windows PATH

2) uncomment the OCI8 library in the php.ini file under extensions.

 

and hopefully all should be fine!

 

is there anything else I will need to do to configure PHP with Oracle?

 

 

I'm going to go via http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html

 

...and hope for the best!
