I think that using PHP with Oracle is a lot easier, but this is my > own personal opinion... and I am not trying to force anyone to agree with me. I don't think either of them will work, they require the Oracle Client libs, which is the problem I believe. Because they are for Linux they won't compile with FreeBSD version of PHP or the DBD/DBI::ORA stuff. If I'm wrong I would love for someone to point out how to make PHP3 link against the Oracle Client libs for Oracle support under FreeBSD. I tried this many, many, many times and didn't have any luck. Then again there may be someone out there with more diligence and intelligence than I who has made it work -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
