RE: [PHP] Oracle Interface

Hi guys!! I'm just getting back into harness after 4 months off work following major surgery, so I'm well behind on all the PHP groups. It's nice to be back! Forgive me for responding to this one over a month later, but I haven't seen anybody else pointing this out: On 13 June 2005 13:30, Shane Presley wrote: > On 6/10/05, Richard Lynch <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote: > > On Fri, June 10, 2005 8:48 am, Shane Presley said: > > > Where can I find some info on integrating Oracle and PHP? > > > > http://php.net/oracle > > > > pretty much covers it. Actually, no it doesn't. If you're using Oracle 8i or later, you should be using the OCI extension (http://php.net/oci8). The Oracle extension uses an older protocol for versions up to Oracle 7, and is now pretty much obsolete -- whilst it will work, more or less, with later versions, it's less efficient and doesn't support many of the features that OCI does.
