I have to work in a project that requieres a web page running in a Apache server under Linux to retrieve information from an Oracle database under Windows.

The Question is :

What do i need to establish the connection using PHP under Linux??
Do i have to install an Oracle client? can i use an ODBC conection?

Thanks for your help

PHP's oracle module has native Oracle support I believe, you may need the client libraries (?), or if yo have a ODBC driver that should work as well (Althought I would think direct connection would be more efficient).
