access oracle from php (mod_php4)

[James Hong]

looks like best option is to install oracle7-client from port and use it
with PHP from port too.
However, as oracle client is based on 7, newer functions does not seems to
be avilable.

OR

you can install linux emulator and install oracle client with linux
emulation.

I'm using a client app to access an oracle 8i database myself.  I'm using
unixODBC on freebsd which the oracle 9i libraries from the oracle website
and the oracle driver from www.easysoft.com which allows unixodbc apps to
use the oracle driver.  I'm not using mod_php4, but I'm pretty sure it can
use unixodbc once that's setup.  There is allow a native oracle driver for
php, but I don't know anything about it.

My app -> unixODBC -> EasySoft Oracle driver -> Oracle libs -> Oracle server

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
