Is there any way to connect to Oracle?

[afid]

Hi

Do you know if exists NLM for PHP on Netware 6.5 to connect to Oracle.

Into the php.ini, we can find all the DLLs for Windows (php_oracle.dll
and php_oci8.dll) , but we don't have those kind of NLM's on NetWare.
Is there any other opportunity connect to Oracle via PHP on NetWare?

Thanks for your help

Regards

I tried to build these NLMs, but since the oracle client NLMs are clib-based
all that these extensions do is abending once you use them...
however there are two other ways which might work:
- using the odbtp extension
this is a client extension which connects to a service running on Win32 which
itself connects to an ODBC driver; its developed in first place for using
with MsSQL server, but it might work with Oracle too - I've though never
tested that.
- using UCS/UCX framework. Novell provides a php2ucs extension which has a
database layer; here you can find a sample:
