    how to access oracle from php4

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to access oracle from php. Im using CentOS 4
    with php4 already installed. From what I found after a bit of
    googling...php will have to be recompiled with oracle support. This
    seems to be a lot tedious.
    Anyone with an advic on how to use oracle with php.

    Im using CentOS4
    php4
    oracle10g

    Thanks
    Danish

      You don't have to recompile PHP, as you can build the oci8 extension (which
      connects PHP to Oracle) as a shared module.

      In fact, for PHP 4 that's probably the better course of action, as you can use
      the newer version of the extension, which is better than the one bundled in
      PHP4.

      You can get it from http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8 , which comes with
      install instructions.

      The functions it provides are documented at http://php.net/oci8

              Reread what Andy wrote.
              'shared module'.
              You do not have to recompile PHP.
              Just uncomment the relevant part in php.ini and make sure you place the so
              or dll in the right directory.
              And of course as Andy indicated, read the installinstruct ions.
