Hi all the people here! well i've been working with php for quite some time now but i never used oracle databases before. well the situation is something like this. I've a mysql server running perfectly working with apache and php on linux, but in the other hand i also have an oracle server (6i) running with windows. The prob is that now i need to update my mysql database every night. The codding envolvind this is not the big problem, my main prob is How do i do to make php to get the data from the oracle server since i don't have any linux istallation with oracle? Can i make php get the data from the oracle server just by ip as i can do with mysql? If so what do i need to have. Thank you alot Geek Greetings, Pedro Oliveira
