    PHP and Oracle support

    Hi!
    I need to access an Oracle DB from some PHP pages, so I need to compile my
    PHP with Oracle support. So, the point is:

    Do I have to download the whole 1.7GB stuff? Is there anything containing
    only headers ald libs needed to compile? Any other solution? Or am I just
    on the wrong path?

    Thx

      The short answer is yes; you have to download the entire thing, and do a
      client install (which isn't particularly lightweight).

      It may be possible to hack and fudge it down to the minimal libraries, but it
      won't be supported, and it's likely to fail.

      You can cut things down quite a bit by doing a Custom install and selecting
      only the Oracle Net and developer options, and deselecting everything else.

              The ADODB wrapper
              http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB


              supports Oracle, and claims you only need an Oracle client installed:

              Cell Phone Tracker App - Track Mobile Phone Location Free
              http://phplens.com/adodb/supported.databases.html
              The Phone Tracker App by Snoopza is the best tracking app for cell phones. You can track mobile locations for free, as well as track calls, chats and text messages with this Android application.


              Hope that helps.
