Re: PHP And Oracle

Krznaric, I am running Apache and PHP on a different server to the main Oracle instance. All I did was compile it up myself with the --with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME and it worked without much problem. If you can type: "sqlplus <username>/<password>@<database>" and it connects to the database on the remote machine then you're fine. PHP will know how to do that by compiling in the Oracle libaraies.
