Hi everybody :) I'm new to this forum ! Very recently I started working in PHP. I'm trying to connect Oracle DB from the php using the oci_logon() which works fine. But I would like to know whether its possible to use some other drivers like the thin driver used in java to connect to Oracle DB from php ? If anybody can help me on this ?? Suggestions are very much appreciated & awited.

Thanks & regards,
Ram. :)

Not many hosts support other than MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. Oracle being a very heavy application, is good only for enterprise users and very use php as a scripting language to connect to it. So you may not find too many responses on php with oracle.

Are the PDO extensions any good ?
