I've got another php_oci8.dll question, perhaps someone may know the answer. I don't have a copy of VC++ available, but I do have both the Borland Free C++ Compiler 5.5 and Cygwin 1.1.2. I haven't tried compiling PHP or the oracle dlls with these yet (downloaded them yesterday). Anyone know of any issues or have tried compiling with these? Anything I should worry about... I'll be compiling with COPIES of the sourcecode of course, backing up everything as I go... but as I haven't done any C work in years (since college), I'm a bit sqeemish about mucking something up.
