That is great news, thanks Mike. My second problem then lies with my current PHP Setup. I have been using the binary RPMs from RedHat up to now, which do not sem to have been compiled with the Oracle functionality included. If I recompile PHP, will I need the Oracle headers on the machine also? If so this could be a problem as the Oracle server I wish to use is not on the same machine as the webserver.
