RE: [PHP-DB] R: [PHP-DB] Compiling with Oracle(8) Support From: Andrew Hill (ahill <email protected>)

Jason,

You can use Openlink Multi-Tier ODBC without installing any Oracle
components on the PHP box. You will need a driver library, and a
server-side component on the Oracle box, but it does allow you to bypass
Oracle native networking (you don't even need the tnslistner, etc)

HTH!

Best regards,
