Hi Roger, There is Oracle Commander , but it is not very good as phpMyAdmin. Try it: http://www.bitesser.de/downloads/download.php?filename=oraclecommander Oracle is similar to other databases used from PHP, only difference is calling stored procedures that return resultset. Dont use oracle functions, but oracle8 (oci) extension for Oracle, they are better documented and easier to use. There is PHP manual that can help you learn oracle+php. If u have some questions you can ask here. For example, there are couple of functions i wrote to myself: Some ppl say you should put environment variables, before connecting: putenv( "ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0" ); putenv("TWO_TASK=/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/admin/tnsnames.ora"); putenv("TNS_ADMIN=/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/admin"); putenv("ORACLE_SID=test"); $connection = OCIPlogon($user,$pass,$dbname); function query($sql) { $query=OCIParse($connection,$sql); if ($query) OCIExecute($query); return $query; } function query_fetch_array($query) { if (OCIFetchInto($query,$result,OCI_ASSOC+OCI_NUM+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) { return $result; } else { return 0; } } $sql="select * from emp"; $query=query($connection,$sql); while ($row=query_fetch_array($query)) { // You can user $row["EMPNO"] or $row[0]... } Radovan "Roger Spears" <roger@bgnet.bgsu.edu> wrote in message 3F462009.5000808@bgnet.bgsu.edu">news:3F462009.5000808@bgnet.bgsu.edu... > Hello, > > I was wondering if there are any PHP people out there that are really > into using Oracle databases?
