Underground PHP Oracle Book

PHP Coders, Get Busy: The Underground PHP Oracle Manual is Here

Chris Jones and I have just finished and released version 1.2 of The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual. This book gives you help installing the Oracle, Apache, and PHP on Linux and Windows. It will help you understand and start working with the new OCI8 (Oracle's API) changes for PHP.

We still need to do more work on this, and there'll probably be another version coming out soon, but it's a good start. Take a look, and let me know what you think about it by leaving comments on this posting.

dear Alison i runned trhough your book and i find it very interesting but in the instant client part when i use the zip file mode installation whe i rebuild the php it says that im missing the sdk headers an dump de intallation have you any idea of what is happening and can you tell how do you set the TNS file and the path for the library,sobbry for my bad englis

Alison Holloway:

Did you put the Instant Client packages in the same directory as the standard package? They need to find each other's header files.

Secondly:

set TNS_ADMIN [path to tnsnames.ora]

See the Oracle documentation for help on this.
