Oracle and PHP4 and NT (OH MY)

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions about PHP4's stability. New Question: In reply Mikkel stated: "PHP4 doesn't speak native Oracle on NT just yet." What does "just yet" mean? The necessity for an eventual direct Oracle connection is imparative. And quite honestly, I'm not skilled enough to write the subroutines or whatever it might require to make it happen. How long until this option becomes common? I'd be happy to do some of the beta testing for these functions. If we're only talking a matter of weeks or even a month, this would be acceptable. I've sold the boss on php because of it's ability to interact directly with Oracle instead of having to use ODBC. Thanks in advance. John
