php and Oracle client on mac

Hello there I have a Mac OS X 10.5.2 on which php and Apache are installed and running (which come by default with company installation, but after enabling the php). What I need to do is to develop some php code which access a remote database server of Oracle (on which I have an account). I have Oracle client 10 downloaded on my machine. As far as I knew I have to set some environment variables as well as recompile the php?? Can anyone please help by as much detailed instructions as possibole please as I have totally no idea of what I should do? Thank you very much for your time and support. Best. _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000009ukm/direct/01/
