oracle portal

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

yes I believe you can, I have no idea where to find documentation though, try searching on google (no doubt you have already).

I just found this message board here its got some stuff about it: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-orac ... uthor.html

I would questiuon why you would want to...

The Oracle Portal s/w is an out-of-the-box solution for corporate portals.

The interaction of J2EE and PL/SQL is tailored to the extent that it will run way faster than the same interaction with PHP.

If you just talking about connecting to the Oracle dB with PHP, then fine, but it seems a bit of an overkill to use a portal system (sold as a Java/Oracle solution) for PHP/db interaction.

When you buy this software, you are buying a complete framework.

If you do intend to connect to Oracle then I would suggest you ignore all the Portal stuff and build your applications outside of the framework, although it kinda defeats the object of Oracle Portal, your best off just buying the db software!

BTW, you WILL need to sort Apache to handle PHP etc

My 2p
