I don't recall having to install any specific >Java Runtime Environment on our Linux box... Sure, I was referring to installing the entire Oracle datbase server on Linux. When you do that, it requires that the JRE be present on the system just for the installation. The installation is a GUI. The Oracle documentation says not to try using the JDK, but to use the JRE. >>If you're using Linux or Unix, then you're going to have to compile >>Oracle into PHP. > > right... > >>This is quite troublesome. > > not really. The reason I said that the entire installation process of Oracle/PHP was a pain is because we installed the Oracle database instead of the client. Having never done that before, it WAS a pain. :) Brian Mauter brian.mauter@ua.edu
