RE: [PHP-DB] remote database exchange

I am not familiar with Oracle, but by looking through the PHP docs, it appears that you can't connect remotely to an Oracle server... Am I wrong about this, or is it a limitation of the Oracle library, or is Oracle not built to allow remote connections? -----Original Message----- From: CC Zona [mailto:cczona@nospam.invalid] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 7:34 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] remote database exchange In article <012601c10e4a$6c7a2ec0$b943500c@zeospantera>, mrsql.php@worldnet.att.net (Ken Sommers) wrote: > Suppose I Need to get Vendor prices from a very large remote (Oracle) > price list . They probably don't have PHP installed. If... -you have PHP installed, -AND you have Oracle support compiled in to that install, -AND you have connection info (username/password/hostname) for an account on that Oracle system that has been granted access to vendor prices, -AND you know how to use PHP's Oracle functions, -AND you know how to query an Oracle database ...then you're set. Whether they have PHP installed or not is irrelevant. -- CC -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
