For connecting to a external Oracle server with a php script you need:
- a clean version of Linux, without php and apache installed.
- to install the Oracle client (for the shared libraries).
- to compile php with Oracle support.
- to compile apache with php support.
- to have a valid connect string for your Oracle server.
Details for doing this are found in the book below.
If you want to install the Oracle server on the same machine as your
webserver (not recommended), process is similair, just install the
Oracle server instead of the client.
I recommend you read Professional Apache bij publischer Wrox.
